2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission What gauges match OEM the closest?

[Sean Flanagan]

I've finally scraped together enough spare cash to put some gauges in my truck. I never have really liked the white faced gauges, but I am finally getting used to them. The question I have for you is, what brand / model of gauges most closesly match my OEM gauges for both daytime and night time viewing? And are these gauges easy to read at night?



I had some ID priocol gauges in my last truck (a '98. 5) and they looked great in the day, but the pointer didn't light up on the EGT gauge, making it hard to read at night. I was hoping not to make a similar mistake this time.



Thanks for your help,



Sean

There are 2 that come to mind, the Danin optix and the Isspro ev series that both have tryed to match the 3rd gens.

I have the Optix guages and like the match very well, its not perfect as some of the "white" LED light comes thru under the needle base, but other than that i am satisfied

I've got the Isspro EVs with green bulb covers. Excellent night time visibility and a great factory match (I've had several folks ask me if they are factory).
