I have a VDO boost gauge and Link digital AF gauge in the a-pillar. Now, I have a Flamingeye blue LED kit and the Link AF gauge is blue, now, can the light socket on the VDO gauge me changed to accept an LED? Or are there any really bright blue light buld options out there?

Anyone know where to get a decent-looking white-faced air-fuel mixture gauge? I can't stand the digital ones - they look completely out of place especially in an early car (this is for the Callaway). I'm getting all white-face gauges and like the VDO boost & EGT gauges shown but would really like to have an air-fuel as well, preferably one that kind of matches the others and preserves the look / continuity of the interior.

POP: This is what i am doing, im about to install a WB and replace the worn out crappy clock with a Rennbay narrow band.

Im not a fan of digital LED narrowbands, but i figures i can keep my eye on the clock, i mean Narrowband , and still use my WB.

I remember see's some norrow bands that display WB numbers, analog (from 10.0-20.0 i think) on ebay a while back

NZ: MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmWWWWwwwwwwwAAAAAaa!! There is your kiss mate See what reading does?

What do you want a kiss for if you don't mind me asking?

Jeff,

You may have misunderstood what I meant by Digital...


PS: Its a link gauge will work with Tech Edge WB or narrow band. It can be blue LED lit, or run from red to green depending on the AF ratio. CHeck out link, they have a video or it in action.

PPS: It comes with a silver bezel, I ground that off and put an aftermarket black one on to match the interior.

AF9 by Rennbay... keeps the girls occupied.

The following is an actual quote from one of our customers:

"When I am out driving with my girlfriend she is so occupied over there looking at the lights go back and forth she doesn't even notice when we breach 100mph."

NZ, that's EXACTLY what I had in mind - something exactly like that. The LED bar ones look like ***, IMO. The information is far less easy to interpret and doesn't give you trend information like a conventional dial gauge does. I'll look into that. Perfect.
