factory boost gauge..

hey guys,

when i bought my car, it had the factory gauge package in it allready, but they dont show up at night very well and i would like to read the boost in psi opposed to mpa. Is there any way to use the factory wiring but get a new face for the boost gauge. I think its 48mm, please correct me if im wrong?

thanks for the help, regards,

ryan

same. that thing looks cool.. but only in the day. i have one too..

i was thinking of changing the face also... there's a really ghetto way to do it. make a face! i think it's possible. anyways... i'm going to change the bulb in the guage soon. the halogen look doesn't match the green from the speedometer and other stuff.

someone give us suggestions.

If it's the 3 gauge pack there is a TSB for the bulb being not as bright in the boost gauge VS the other two. They just replace the whole gauge:
