Hey

I'm looking into new gauge faces and plan on doing the full red LED conversion for my gauges. I want to try and stick to red in my car, so I was just wondering if anyone here has the AC S7 gauges with the red LED swap in their gauges. All the pics I can find on here you guys have done the Blue LED swap. Will these gauges work with the red LED's or no?? If any one has pictures of it done would be great! Thanks

Basically, AC S7 will light up greenish/bluish on the numers and dial... back ground area would be dark at night time...
Then your needle will glow red from red LED conversion.. and your LCD will be red all the time....

Here is an sample.. but AC Reverse indiglo..

Thanks for the pictures guys. I dont know, after looking at them, I think its made my decision to go with the blue LED coversion instead of the red. The blue looks a lot better with those gauges.

Go with blue AC gauges are nice they have those seperate rings that bring them forward and seems like they protrude giving it a 3d effect. looks great hombredelassrta

I would go with red needle... still do the blue LCD..
Cause red needle and S7 gauge gives you the contrast.. instead of blue over powering everything..
