Lunar Guages or Ultra Lite? Which looks better to the stock guages?

It's almost always 175-180, One time I saw 200 sitting in traffic with the A/C on. I don't have an aftermarket water temp gauge, But I'm curious how the water temp fluctuates with the oil temp. It seems to be real low, I have the sender in the same port as the factory oil pressure switch at the oil filter, I'd like to put it in the pan some time to see how it compares. Since the oil is cooled by that heat exchanger in the coolant, I may have the sender in the wrong spot.V8Mustang said:
I've had numerous people ask if my Lunars were stock, and that's without a dimmer. I had one guage blow on me, still worked just didn't illuminate.
I've been told, haven't done it, that if you use the Radio Shack 0-to-100 ohm Turn Adjustable Potentiometer (#64W100R-K) you can get them to match up damn near perfect.

Anyone have pics of the LED bulbs in Ultra Lites?
Have you read this whole thread? I realize it's getting pretty old, but all the info and even the pictures are still there.03 DSG Snake said:
Edit: I see you even responded to my pics from a long time ago, so I'm not sure what you're asking, since I have LED bulbs and Ultra-Lites.

if you're asking me, go to page two, the 2nd post, click the link that talks about the LED bulbs.2SkrewdCobra said:
Do they make replacment bulbs for the lunar series? If they do, can they be used in the ultra lite's to get the right color to match our cars?
My understanding is that once the lunar loses its electro eluminescent, you can't replace it. It's not like a bulb, it is the whole back piece I think...
According to Autometer, there's some sort of resistor you can wire inline to the power feed for the gage to cut some voltage back, make it dimmer, and make it last longer.
That being said, those bad boys being the 2nd most expensive Autometer guages kind of pisses me off that I can't just replace a 'bulb' when they burn.

OR.... you can do what I am going to do. After driving Honda Civic beaters for many years I know that the 70's civics had a neat little dash light dimmer rheostat separate from the headlight switch that can be adapted easily to a gauge light circuit....there are piles of these little cars in the wreckers and these little rheostats never wear out....they will allow you to set your lunar gauges to just the right intensity level to match the dash....
I like the cost too .....

its the plain old autometer pod i painted to match the interior.
This looks like Autometer P/N 10005, right? It's shown on their web site with a rectangular hole on the lower left-hand side. I can't see from your photo if you have that hole. If so, what is it for? Also, what paint did you use? Thanks for any info.ShelbyGuy said:

That cluster does not work with the 03/04 Cobra.
