Pricol OPTIX........flat out awesome!

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 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!

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.

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.
