Suggestions for a new gauge set....

Anyone know where I can get a white/blue or any set for that matter, of gauges that illuminate a bluish color at night? I've got a metallic navy blue 1987 Trans Am and I'm getting sick of those darn orange lights!!! I also want to add some spice to my car. Thx!-Greg

P.S- I know that autometer makes the Cobalt series, but I have'nt seen any speedo's in that series.

Well there are some options. There are a number of aftermarket gauge inlays available to cover your factory gauges, however you'd be stuck with white faced gauges during the day time. Otherwise any aftermarket gauge will allow you to place whatever color bulb you desire into it. One of the best resources for white face gauge inlays is definately eBay. Some people have managed to over power the factory tint by using high power LEDs, but even with high power blue LEDs you'd still have the tint of the factory gauges (orange/red - whatever's stock for your car). Hope that's of a little help - do you want to keep factory gauges or go all aftermarket?
