AutoMeter Phantom gauges

im looking to get a dual 2 1/16 pillar pod by auto meter and i want to put a a/f ratio gauge and an oil pressure gauge, but i want them to glow red my question is do they come with a stock light you can just put a red cover over or will i have to put a red led in the gauge. also with that gauge combination a/f and oil press. am i better off getting the electric or mechanical oil press gauge. thanks

the guages come with colored "condoms" that you slip over the bulb to make the color diffrent, red and green are included.....

Red looks pink though. You can replace the 194 bulb in there with a red LED 194 bulb...

as for electric or mechanical, electric, especially for an a-pillar pod. Otherwise you'll need to run a oil line all the way to your a-piller. And then when the line breaks, like they always seem to in time, you'll have a mess.
