EL Glo Gauges
Looking for a fuel and temp gauge to go with my new Acewell dash, which is backlit in blue.
Found this:
They look ok, and are cheap. However they dont make a fuel gauge in the same style.
Has anyone seen some analogue gauges backlit in blue?
Or even better seen digital fuel and temp gauges anywhere?
Cheers,
David

You can buy clear paint that will do the trick, probably from a model shop or similar. Just paint the bolbs and away you go..

You can buy coloured bulb paint. Just dip the bulbs in. Cheaper than coloured bulbs.

Had some coloured traditional bulbs. Not as effective as the LED ones...the paint tends to take out most of the intensity of the traditional ones
making the instruments dark and hard to read
