I have Autometer Z series (black face, white lettering, and black bezel) It matches very closely. I have the A/F gauge and Vacuum gauge mounted in the Cruise control and Dimmer switch locations.


The car was a little dirty at that time, but they match well. As far as the color matching of the lights, Autometers come with a blue and a red niple to puto over the bulb, but I recommend getting a light blue colored one to use, as that exactly matches the color of stock. I have put blue 194 bulbs in my dash now, and it looks sweet. I have also put red bulbs in my gf's red Integra and that looks sweet as well.

Some Autometer guages come with the red/orange and green/blue condoms. Just slide them over the bulb.

How much cutting of the dash was required to put in those gauges?

Just get a 2" hole saw attachment for your drill, pull out the OEM buttons and drill out the hole. the 2 1/16" Autometer gauges will snug right in there.

Are the cruise control and dimmer close to fitting back in or not? Thanks for the help.

Once you drill out your dash like that, there's no going back really...The hole you cut is bigger than the cruise control switch is in diameter.
I just used a dremel tool and spent about 20 minutes on it, going very slowly and carefully not to drill up my dash.
I was also able to cut it in a way that angles the gauge up toward the driver, for better viewing (even though it is kind of a covert location for important gauges)...

Sorry to the thread starter, but I'm pretty sure the other person answered your questions...

I dont think those match perfectly cuz of the silver ring. I think the Z series match the best. But I've never seem in real life

I painted my bezel silver, so the black/siler guages match great!

Yep. I personally run all Defi gauges in my car and you will be hard pressed to find a better and closer oem-looking product. Hope this pic works.
