Autometer LED bulbs - red or amber?

Which of the Autometer LED bulbs for the Autometer Ultralights match the original dash lights closer, the RED or the AMBER?

I have a 2004 MCS with the orange'ish gauges. I have the red bulb cover over the Autometer gauges now, but I just put in a voltmeter and now I can see how much the other autometer gauges lights are faded.

Any help would be appriecated!!

I used amber on my oil pressure and boost guages and they match perfect.

Good Luck,
Mike

Are they as bright as the factory instruments?

The reason I ask is because I tried these...

...color was fairly close, but not very bright. On the plus side...excellent customer service at NA Motorsports.

Then I tried some from my local AutoZone...they are brighter, but too yellow.

Now I have these...

...haven't wired them in yet, but I hope they are bright and a decent orange match to the factory instruments.
