Hi guys,

I am in the process of updating my RX7's interior with Red LEDs and whilst the dash is apart I thought I would order a gauge mount and some 60mm gauges.

Problem is I have a few boxes to tick:

1) Gauge must only light up when the lights are on and not with ignition
2) Gauge backing must be black with red/orange needle
3) Gauge must light up red.

Any ideas?

The only ones I have found that seem to do the above is the D1 Spec but then it is not clear if these always light up

Any thoughts??

You could check out the Defi gauges - http://www.defi-shop.com/products/advance_bf/summa...
You should be able to find the OEM look you're after. With regards to having the gauges lighting up only when the lights are on, that's something you may need to look into wiring up yourself, i'm sure I've seen guides or at least threads for that on one of the RX-7 forums.

Cool will take a peep thanks smile

I did wonder if I could just wire it into the light loom, but I wasn't sure if the gauge would then just not work (in the case of a temp sensor or something)
