Thinking about putting electric gauges on the A-pillar. Any GOOD gauges that light up and have the same "look" as the dashboard lighting?

Hello,

I recently installed a fuel pressure gauge to try to resolve an issue.
I used a digital Cyberdyne Ultragauge.
It's down in the center console in front of the shifter.

I wouldn't recommend installing these gauges on the A-pillar, as they are extremely bright and it only has 2 settings, Really Bright, and Extremely Bright. In the picture it is on low, it gets brighter when the dash lights turn off.
I intend on installing an oil pressure gauge next, and will probably try the cyberdyne original to see if it's toned down a bit. I would like to install them on the A-pillar, but not as bright as the Ultragauges are.
It has also been suggested to cover the lens with some 5% window tint. Just a suggestion if you like the gauges.

Later now,
Clint
