Pillar guage part #?
Can someone give me the part number--or at least the style that most accurately matchs the stock dashboard guages on the lightning....I will be buying a trans temp and boost (maybe water temp) guage for the pillar pod....and want them all to look the same....Thanks

its possible to have them close but in order to have them match exactly you would have to be able to dim the lunar series gauge while leaving the stock gauges on bright. The lunar is a little brighter then the stock gauges on full brightness.

I installed my Lunar boost gauge last night. Got it from Jeg's. You'll want the 2 1/16" gauge (#105-4103) and applicable pod (#105-15304). Depending on how many gauges you decide to go with, pick the one that will accomodate the amount of gauges you want. Duh. ;o)
Thanks to mrinaldi - Mike, I was able to install mine with all the necessary parts ALREADY in hand. Jeg's doesn't tell you that the pod is black and that the gauge vacuum line is smaller than the stock line and that you'll need a T connector and some grey paint. To remedy that, pick up a 3/16 x 3/16 x 1/8 connector. This is assuming that you want to keep the stock gauge working. As far as paint, I used Mike's Ford Automotive Interior Spray Lacquer (#M4JZ-19M547-4245H) for Medium Graphite interior. Clean the pod with alcohol and give it a good 4-5 coats. Spray the push-in plastic tabs too.
As far as the install itself, I'm not gonna get into that here. It's not very hard but I will say that placement of the holes to run the wiring harness and vacuum line are crucial. More so for the vacuum line so it doesn't get crimped. Electrical-wise I tapped into the dimmer switch for the headlights to be able to dim the gauge.
Here's some pics....Good luck!!
