Guage Pod Pics???

I'm going to get the autometer dual gauge a-pillar pod that fits the 94-03 stang for the cat and i just wanted to see if anyone here had pics of one in their fox cat or bird, and eric said its almost direct fit.  Any tips on what to mod. I'm filling it with VDO full sweep mechanical oil pressure and water temp gauges, oh and i also would like to know if anyone knows where i can get blue 194 LED's for the gauges the blue incandescent 194s i have are bright enough for the cluster but not the aftermarket gauges.

I've got that one in my 84 T-bird. It fits pretty good. It doesn't follow the pillar cover exzact but it is pretty damm close.  I didn't have to mod anything to make it fit. Just have some little gaps at the top and bottom edges. I did have to make a hole for the wireing to come through and to hold it on with there push tabs. As for the blue lights I believe my autometer gauges came with bulb covers to make the lights 5-6 different colors. I bought the phantom model gauges.  I've also seen them selling colored light bulbs. Try ording in some of those 194 in a 194b part number I know Eiko brand bulbs have blue bulbs in that number. hope this helps I'll post a pic when I get a good one of the gauge pod.

Hey Hawk, did you have to mod your pod to get that boost gauge to fit?

But you did trim it to get it to fit better i just got it and test fitted it I'm going to trim it a little to get the fit perfect and i didnt buy autometer guages too expensive.  I bought VDO full sweep mechanical ones like $30 a pop with my discount.

Hey capitlj, I have a VDO boost gauge in my pillar pod...those studs for the mounting bracket on the back do run into the pod a little, I heated the plastic on mine and pushed it out just a tad, but I didn't have any problems with it fitting otherwise.

The tripple pod is an entire pillar if i remember correctly, and it wont fit.

I run a single gauge pod.

I ordered mine from Summit. I think it's for a '94 Mustang, but I could be wrong. It fits very well and I love it.

You use a stock O2 sensor for that style air fuel gauge.
