Default Trans Temp Gauge

Anyone know where to get trans temp guages for the a-pillar pods? I am looking for one with red back lighting and a flamed white face if possible. So far no luck.

You could try autmeters c2 gauges I believe they have an led in them and you could switch out the led for a red one. Flames Im lost there I dont think anyone has thoses.

You could get a Denali cluster with a trans temp gauge and save the space in the pillar for something else?... I found all the gauges I wanted on ebay, if they are not listed go into the ebay stores. One guy called Fasterthanthem has a pretty good selection usually, but not in this case..... only offers one.

I'll look into those, thanks for the info. I know APC makes flamed white face gauges but they don't have a tranny temp gauge.

Thats what I was originally thinking, I just don't really want to switch clusters because of the odometer readings and the overlays that I already have. Thanks for the link though, I might look into getting that one if I don't find something like I'm looking for.

Yeah there are plenty of manufacturers that make flamed overlays for the stock cluster but for the 2 1/16" gauges I dont think anyone does.

Possibly a white face gauge with red lighting...? I haven't been able to come up with anything so right now it looks like the Auto Meter Phantom, only I want something that I can easily see at night with red lighting to match my gauges.

For reference, here are the gauges I have in my truck, trying to find something that will look nice with them to put in a pillar pod.

Autometer gauges come with a green and red overlay for the lightbulb, in order to change the backlighting color. Go with the Phantom.

I assumed the Phantom wasn't backlit at all, the only ones I could find on their website were a neon green color. If they are backlit and come with a red overlay then I will get the Phantom for sure. If not, what model is lighted?
