Try egauges.com
http://www.egauges.com/vd2_main.asp They have lots of choices. A picture of my three-gauge ashtray set is on the forum somewhere, search for "gauges" and my ID as poster.

Anyone know a gauge pod that would look good ontop of the dash on a 300SD? Or another location to mount them? I'd prefer not to have to cut/drill anything.
For which gauge, I think the VDO Cockpit gauges match the stock ones pretty well.

The ISSPRO gauges have far better lighting than the VDO gauges.

And the VDOs have much better lighting than the stock gauges. You wouldn't want them to not match the dim glow of the main gauges...

 Gauges just seem too expensive to me... If I'm going to pay that much for a gauge its going to match my car!! I'm strange like that though...

I like the color coded EGT gauge but I went with this Autometer gauge from egauges.com. I have it in what used to be my ash tray and I'll be putting in a matching boost gauge when I get around to it.
