AutoMeter Gauges

blk_06_mustang · May 20th, 2009, 04:16 PM

Alright, so I was looking at getting a couple of gauges here soon and I have a few questions about the AutoMeter ones. First off, what does everyone think of them? As in, are they a good quality, know to shit on themselves, or are they pretty decent? Another thing I was wondering is, I was thinking that they were backlit but Im not sure. The ones that I was looking at are from AM.com so I will post the link. Maybe Im just not reading it. They all say Ultra-Lite on them but who knows. Im only needing a couple off the page but they all seem to be the same Ultra-Lire bla bla bla. So any help would be nice. Thanks in Advance.

Yours all backlit, and do you know if these ones are as well?

I have an Autometer Nitrous and AF gauge, the nitrous is backlit, the AF is not. I'm pretty sure you can make any of their gauges backlit (if its not already) but just putting a light (available from their webcite) into the appropriate hole in the back of the gauge (pre cut). I kinda like my AF not being backlit because the light itself dances around and lets me know what its reading.

Thanks a lot for that. Now I just need to wait and see which are and which arent lit when I get home and go from there. Thanks again.

Alright, so Im not a fan of tachometers but I do think it would be handy to have just the shift light. Would it be hard to, or the same, to hook up just a light without a tach, or would it be better off to just suck it up and get the combo... the tachs just look um, hmmm not cool lol, in most cars. What you all think?

You can get a raptor shift light from speedofsound.com. I bought the apillar guage setup and a radio bezel from them, amazing pieces, really good stuff.
