How the stock boost gauge should be *Part 2

Well I'm back with my second attempt at making the lancer gauge into something useful. Im pretty happy with the way this one turned out. I didn't like the aluminum overlay as much as I thought I would. I think the stock look is the only way to go. The only problem with this gauge is that the face numbers are white. If anyone has any ideas to die or color them id like to know. Let me know what you think. Heres the howto https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=249800

Yea, its not hard if you aren't afraid of cutting some stuff. The only thing that worried me was cutting into the circuit board on the gauge cluster. Ill show you what I mean. I followed all the traced and made sure they would be ok to cut, thankfully it all turned out ok. ^ It only goes up to 25 psi, I dont plan on going above that for a while.
edit: I just wrote up the how to, check it out here

How come the needle isn't lit?

It would be cool for daytime driving, but useless at night.

I really like it....where did you get the gauge and how did you get it to match the color of the cluster?
