I bought a bunch of the ugly ones for various uses and one of the black-faced ones to use in my personal truck.

Any pressure gauge will work, pressure is pressure. They could be labeled anything.

The on BK suggested looks to come with an install kit and lighting. The one I did, is just a gauge.

I disected one of the popular stylish pricey gauges a while back and stacked behind the needle were over a dozen "faces", with each face being also two-sided.

There were white faces, black faces, various styles of script, and some said WATER, some FUEL, some BOOST, and some OIL, leading me to think that the little Chinese kid in charge of assembly selected whichever face was needed and neatly stacked the rest in there for me to find.
