I like the blacked out look!

Is it possible to have options on the multi-gauge?

Some just have fuel, others have fuel and oil pressure, and the coolest ones of all come from J Bell and have 3 gauges. So, one light, two light and three light are possibilities.

Are the lens glass?

Thank you for the interest! Yes, can do that. Each window with a gauge needle would get a separate lead with a similar sized led strip. If the light maybe added up to to much you could cut 1 segment off the led strip(s)with scissors. Easy as that! Just request the extra leads for your particular combo gauge when you order!
And yes the lenses are all tinted glass (or clear)

Dark Lens Kits getting more popular! This one going to look great in Kenneth J's 'Full Bodied' 916 Tribute car! He's using a 911 2 window combo which will have matching illumination in the fuel window and the top temp window.

Hugo says he did these in under 3 hours start to finish and that is was very satisfying!

"Have fitted my set today. Have to say that the set was very complete and easy te work on. Especially a compliment for the paint for the needles, very thoughtful!
The whole process took me about 3 hours and was very satisfying.
Some photos of my work today.
The "extras " you added were both very useful and appreciated!"

Best regards
Hugo

Brian shows off his upgrade and how to avoid a shorted led(cut end) when there is little or no paint insulating the gauge case.

This also shows the correct starting/finishing point for placing the led strips.
