Default For those of you with a VDO boost gauge...

does the red light match the interior lights. My gauge didn't come with any covers for the lightbulb, so I went out and got a red light from Pepboys so that it would hopefully match. Even when I first put it in, it didn't match. It looked more pink than red, and now about 2 weeks later, it seems like the red paint burned off or something like that. Now it looks like a white light with a very slight amount of pink on top of it. Does anybody have any idea where to get a qualilty red light for my gauge?

Default Yes it does match--exactly.

Not sure why yours didn't come with the bulb "condom." Maybe find someone who prefers the white illumination and isn't using their red piece? Good luck

Hehe...yeah I'm lazy. Change my sig about twice a year. Just bought a new camera (4mp Olympus C4000), so I'm motivating myself to take more "sig-quality" pics. Wheels are 17" Borbet C2T (Porsche cup style).... were on the car when I bought it.

Default Thanks.

Yeah I'm coming from a D-460z, lowly 1.3mp. Couldn't pass up a $249 deal at OfficeMax for the C-4000 ;-)
