Gauges

I'm looking for a set of guages and want to know what everyone is using and who has the best deal on them. I would like to have full sweep. I'm looking at the ISSPRO from DieselManor and the DiPricol Optix. The only thing I'm not sure about is the illumination, I like the ISSPRO white face with blue pointer but can't find any pictures of them at night. Does anyone have these? I don't want something that is very bright, I had a radio that I had to put something over the face because it was so bright at night, so I don't want to have to do that with the gauges.

Rusty

I have the DiPricol Optix and I love them! The Black face with green LED back light matches the stock look. They also make a white face with turquoise LED back light (mainly to match the Dodge white face look) that you might like.

Here's the link to the main website.. http://www.danininc.com/optix.html

Here's the direct link to the black/green pyro. Click on the "Illumination" button above the gauges to see the back lighting example.http://www.danininc.com/opticdetail1.html

Or direct link to the white/turquoise pyro.. http://www.danininc.com/opticdetail22.html

Well I ordered my guages today! To bad overnight shipping is so much. I ended up getting the ISSPRO with black dial. Now I just have to talk the wife into letting me get the DP tuner. I called them to find out what the damage would be, so I need to work me some odd jobs, or she needs to sell some houses.
