Default Aftermarket *amber* oil pressure/oil temp guages...who/where?

So I am getting my oil cooler/relocation kit together, and I am wondering who makes amber colored oil pressure and oil temp gauges? Also, where do some of you have your gauges mounted other than the pillar? Has someone made a custom install kit for a pair of gauges in the two center vents?

Thanks.

Don't knock the indiglo gauges, I could not see my GSR cluster for ****, here is what the Autometer gauges look like with some amber bulbs



This is what I am rocking now



You can easily change the bulb for a different coloured bulb with the Autometer gauges

I like the DEFI D-gauges. I like them a lot.

My only concern is that, they have oil pressure, but they just have a "temperature" gauge...I'm assuming this is a general temperature gauge, but can it be used for oil temp also?

Thanks for the replys everyone.

Anyone else know?

I'm leaning toward the DEFI D-Gauges, but will the "temperature" gauge on their site work for oil temp?

How accurate are these "D Gauges" a/f? I know the autometer is terrible.

he you go............
btw, the defi a/f is more accurate than autometer. it does not bounce around
like the autometer. for an example: when i first start the car it goes in rich, til the
car warns up. and if your on the highway i stays at around 13.0-13.5 ish. and when local it stays at around 14.0-14.7 ish. this is the only pic i have. almost exact
to 99-00 si color cluster.

we are a defi dealer. defi d gauge black has been on backorder for about 4 months. They are very nice though.

GReddy silver peak/hold warning also light up silver, but are only 60mm and cost $200-300 a piece.

Bang for the buck, just go with the Autometer. I was drooling over the nice Defi and Omori guages, but then I came down to reality and bought the budget conscious Autometer guages.
