    I have seen both the VMR matches perfectly and is half the price. Do the math. Of course this is my opinion

    It's a personal preference, but I'd say go with the VMR white gauge. Simple to install, inexpensive, great look.

    Re: Wich Integrated Vent Gauge match better with out interior lights ??

    just a quick question...for guys who have gauges already. Does the white gauges look better then the red gauges? I was thinking about getting defi gauges, but not sure which color to get. Cause everything is red, except the gauges are white. I'm guessing I might go with white to continue with the white gauge theme. Any opinions appreciated.

    I have a white gauge, so yeah it matches the other gauges, but I think red would look cool, too.

    I was really let down by the new AWE gauge, their old Omori model was much better.

    To be honest, you know it is what YOU like, but IMO, I had the red sent to me incorrectly and I installed it; I had Don (VMR) send me the white gauge. The red matches everything to the passengers, but the other gauges are white and red, I went for an OEM look.

    It depends where you tap the power. If you just tap a straight switched power source, then it'll be one brightness.

    If you tap it into the dimmer power switch, then you can have it dim with your lights.

    Re: Wich Integrated Vent Gauge match better with out interior lights ??

    With the AWE I attached it where they told me to. It was still to bright so i used a 220 resistor and it worked as planned. Only problem is with the NEW (30) AWE gauge the white is not white, it is more of a yellow. The old one was better, wish my old one didn't go bust.

    I give the Fit and Finish of the AWE 8 out of 10.

    Color Match of the New one is 7 out of 10 at best.

    Color Match of the Old one was 8 out of 10 minimum (Make it a 9 with the 220 resistor)

    Jonny has a VMR and his looks okay on the color match, i would say 7.5 out of 10. Once he adds a resistor to it, then it will be an 8. Only problem I have found with the VMR is that they seem smaller to me. There is a lot more bezel on the VMR then the AWE.

    I'd go with the VMR white gauge to match the theme of the rest of the other gauges in the car.

    if you want it dimmer be sure to do as other's have recommended.

    ECS<VMR>AWE = ECS is the worst, VMR is the best, AWE is in second place. I didn't like the position of the Podi.
