WELP...FINALY got my gauges in....and found a set that i just loved! I went with the DI Pricol Optix gauges with the white Illum and gun metal bezzel. MAN! They are sweet! I got some pics that i need to post when i get home tonight. BUT they dont do them justice! The lighting is crisp and clean and the look is very classy....and matches the 2nd gen dash better than any gauge i have seen! Install was very easy, just like the older Pricols. The pryo now uses a power wire to turn on though. I didnt get the green...but i wouuld guess it woudl be an exact match for the dash....i got the white lighting.....and i can compair it to my wifes 2005 Honda Accord dash......its just like that if any have seen that. They hits a home run with these.... MY ONLY complaint is the Glare in the day time. I can see myself and out the back window in all 3 gauges. Other than that.....i love them......ill get some pics on here tonight....here is the link to them....

I am also very impressed with my optix gauges. visibility is awesome. I havn't really noticed any reflection or anything with my white faced ones though.

 

I saw Dans new gauges. They are very, very nice!
They actually match the 2nd Gen dash BETTER than the Isspros (better font)..... which is why I went with Isspros.
Back lighting is as good... maybe better.... than the Isspro EV's. It is "pure" white and may be too bright, for those that drive long trips in the outback after dark. I would prefer the green... but that's just personal preference.

Anyone looking at getting gauges should definately check out the Di Pricol Optix before deciding!

i guess i should my wires up for the lighting on my FP gauge, lol.

 

Keep in mind that you can order the optional Optix wiring harness that has built in dimmer controls which will allow you to match your dash lighting very close to exact for brightness. You can run the LED's off the dash lighting direct but due to how intense LED's can be it might be too much.

 

Did not know anybody had separate wiring harness for gauge brightness. Excellent!!
Why doesn't everybody?

YUP...i didnt go with that option......due to i like mine bright.....but that is a great option!!!

 

Dang it Dan. After looking at those now I want a set. This will make set number 4 for me. Gald to see you finally joined the rest of us.

 

Yup!! The cobbler finally has some shoes ......after installing how many sets for others?

RJ

 

man...i could guess about 30 or so...but i bet that is low......

 

Eh...this actually didnt turn out that bad.....here they are at night.....

 

Ive got the optix and think they look really good with the factory dash

 

That settles it. I'm getting those this summer. Those look awesome.

 

I wish they made a 0-06 psi FP for us 12V guys. Very nice....

 

Very nice looking gauges indeed Dan ! If my Isspro's ever **** out, those will be a pick for the replacements for sure. Although I am partial to the black rings and no daytime glare with the Isspro's.....that combimed with the green bulb condoms make them look factory imo.
