Anybody use red (or clear) light in their Westach gauge

[boonsur]

I've seen a few pictures of the green back-light. Doesn't look like a real good match. Would red, or possibly even clear look better?



Any more night pictures of the Westach???

I use the green with mine, because it matches my guages at night - the covers seem to retain their colors quite well - so whatever color most closely fits your needs will probably work well.

I use the Red cover that is provided with the kit.

It works really well and looks cool.

If anyone needs a part or two for some Westach guages, let me know by PM.

My 3rd one just failed and I've switched brands.

I have the green on mine, and it seems to match perfectly at night...

Fox, Could you elaborate on what is failing with these? Doing a quick search, I didn't find a whole lot of problems with these (just some boost hoses coming off). . I thought they were pretty reliable. Maybe I need to reconsider?

Boost guage would climb to real slow even when I could hear the turbo at high speed. I removed it and tested it with several known guages and it was WAY off.

Pyro, it would read low. Replaced it and the new one was closer to what the old one read when new.

Now, the fuel pressure guage sender has started leaking.

All three are now replaced with another brand.
