So yea... I'd really like to add two C2 gauges in my car(the kind that glow blue)... volt and a/f mix... but they are so freaking expensive... anyone know of a good site for them or have some for sale?

Just as an fyi, the C2 gauges do NOT glow blue, much to my disappointment. They look blue but they still glow green.
Apart from that, I recommend Autometer or Speedhut.
Hope that helps.
Ya the c2 gauges are AWESOME in the day... hten they are green at night :cry:... VERY dissapointing. I've been tempted to de-green them and try to make them glow blue... but I haven' thad the proper motivation... yet

AutoMeter C2 gauges glow blue at night! I have an oil pressure and nitrous pressure gauge. Both glow blue. Ill take a picture tonight for you! If you are talking about the C2 Cougar, than i would have no idea! LOL
I bought mine from a guy on Ebay. They are the cheapest you will find, i promise! I spent a long time looking for the cheapest. www.thunderbolt-motorsports.com (http://www.thunderbolt-motorsports.com)

I guess then we are speaking of two different things. There is a Cougar package called the 'C2'. It was made only in '01 and '02. One of the distinguishing features of the 'C2' package is blue gauges. That is what 02C2 and I are speaking of. Those gauges still glow green.
As far as the Autometer gauges, I would talk to Adam or Stacy of GForce Auto. They ran a group buy recently and they may have some tips.

I am not sure if I follow all of you guys, but I have the Autometer Phantom series gauges. The "stock" gauge has only two choices of color - green or red. I got bored quickly with the bland green light, so I did an LED swap. The blue LED's make the gauges look awesome. The total led "conversion," if you will, cost only $10 and I am sure you can find cheaper LED's and wiring.

the c2 gauges from autometer glow blue, about the same blue as the indiglo gauges blue. i would just hit up a local speed shop and buy them there, that's what i did and i saved myself about 10 bucks total on both of mine (mine were lunar series though). you really won't see someplace selling them outrageously cheap, trust me, i looked.
