i'd like to order a few of these, but have no idea how ..
also look at the one , it's a few from the bottom, it has a total of 5 LED's, one in the normal position, and 4 shooting out at the sides, this looks like it would be good for a gauge...

you know, green numbers , then yellow, then red ,
instead of all the white numbers. it not only looks factory (kind of, factory only has green/red i think) but it really does match well, and there is no white light coming from it, so there is no need to change bulbs on that one.
but you do think if i order that bulb i'll be okay for my boost gauge ?

I ordered one and will let you know for sure when I get it. I'm running the same pyro guages (both post and pre turbo) and I agree that they look good. It's the boost , oil pres , trans temp and coolant temp that are just a shade to white even with the bulb covers. Maybe I'm just to picky.

Did you guys know that Stewart-Warner made a little computer box called Chameleon with multi-colored LED bulbs? I put the S-W gauges AND the Camelion in my truck a few years ago. You can have the little computer (about a 2X4" box 1/4 thick) change the lamp colors over and over or stop it from rotating the colors and use one of the buttons to manually rotate the color till it's where you want to leave it. Prety much all the colors of the rainbow. I usually leave mine on that greenish dash light color all the time. I do show it off at times tho and just set it to rotate thru all it's colors. Takes about a minute for it to rotate thru all the colors. The little computer control panel mounts right on the dash front just under and to the right a bit of the headlight switch.
