These don't look like the Speedhuts, I really like them. Any idea who makes these? Going to convert my Autometer gauge bulbs to blue LED's as well as the shift indicator, these look like a good match. Is this guy using colored LED's behind the inserts or just clear stock clear bulbs? Very cool looking.

Those are mine. I got them from pro car parts like 1 1/2years ago. They are silver backs withe the blue numbers. They are also switchable to green which doesn't look all the good.I also changed my aitometer bulbs to blue I don't have a pic right now but if you want on I can take one this week. Here is the link to the site I got them from http://www.procarparts.com.\

Hey, thanks for the info. Did you put blue LED's in your HVAC controls and shift indicator as well? Are they the 4-LED or 6-LED bulbs? Here are some pics of the ones from procarparts:

I'm still on the fence with these; my Autometer carbon fiber gauges are dark and these are white/silver during the day, not sure that would look too good. But damn, if these things don't look %&@#%! sweet at night! I may just put white LED's behind the stock gauges and HVAC controls to brighten things up, and blue LED's behind the Autometers and shift indicator. May have to just try stuff out to see what looks good.

I haven't put blue bulbs in the controls yet but I am going to. Definetly needs to be brighter. I think speedhut does custom gauges so you might be able to get some made in black with the blue or if you feel handy with some paint get the silver ones do some masking and paint away. Looks a but of work though. Also I didn't have to remove the needles to install them but you do have to remove the little stops on the gas gauge and etc.

You dont have to remove the needles, but all of the posts (plastic stops) have to be removed.

Does anyone have pics of the Speedhut reverse EL gauges in the dark? I'm thinking of getting theirs in jet black with white or silver lettering to better match my gauges. Just wondering if they look as good in the dark as the procarparts ones?

OK, found some pics of Speedhut reverse EL gauges on another car. Black during the day, blue at night...but no redline? I wonder what the SyTy ones look like lit up?

Hideaki - Thanks for the pictures. I wonder why Speedhut can't make the warning areas on the scales red just like procarparts...damn. Can you get different colors other than turqoise from Speedhut? Maybe I'll send them an e-mail or call to see if they can enhance these with the red areas illuminated. Right now, that's a deal-breaker for me.
