ok the pod is a autometer (#17305) triple gauge pod that has to be painted. the gauges are "DEFIS" and they can be had at your local rice boy shop. Yeah I know

Here is a video of a the gauges at night>>>

They are right @ $600.00 or so for the gauges.

Awesome,
The guage pod looks like it fits great on the pillar. Based on your post, I have decided to use the tripple pod too, (for autometer phantom water temp, fuel press, and boost).

Nice Guages, Is that a 7977 Alpine? I happen to have the same head unit in my truck. Looks great!

Question

Wow! Trick gauge set-up. You did a good job.

Did you run your own power relay for those, or did you tap the factory fuse block? I have been having some 'power' issues hooking up my AutoMeter A/F & boost gauges. I always seem to mess with another electrical component when I tap the line. Do they really draw THAT much power just for a little light?

Again, great looking pillar set-up.

Looks good bob,

Speedin bob is helping me with mine in a few weeks.

$600 seems a bit steep though,

i got the triple pod already painted, the column pod for my 4th gauge, and all 4 gauges for like $450
