Dipricol Optix Gauges

Saw these the other day online and they look very well done. Especially like the night lighting. Anyone have these installed yet that can share pics or feedback on them?

I have them in stock if you need some. I would love to help you out with a package. I also have them listed within our web site too, if you want to see what they look like side by side, day/night shots together. Black or white face. They are a nice looking gauge!

hey, just went and looked at those gauges, they look cool, almost like the ones i run. i was wondering though, how the fuel pressure gauge works?
does it come with an isolator, as a complete kit, or do you have to order something else to make the gauge work??
also, does the trans temp gauge come with a little box like the issopro gauges, because mine never work from day 1, and the company i got them from have no interest in replacing it, so i guess i have to order a different one.
thanks

Well thats fantastic! Is there anyway that the LED light bulb can be purchased for the "old style" DiPricol gauges. My EGT gauge kinda boters me to this day and I would love to Brighten her up a bit.

They look good, but Momma Bear would kill me if I bought them just because the lighting was better than mine.

StealthRam,

Not to my knowledge, the new Optix do not have a way to install the LED elements the case is sealed. By the way the pyro is also a Stepper motor movemnet now, very very fast reacting and accurate. Kind of like a C2 or Cobalt Auto Meter. The look of them is great and the lighting is perfect.

Mark;

How closely do the Optix gauges match the older generation gauges? I like all my gauges but the pyro and don't want to replace them all if I don't have to.

Gauges look great but why do all the major manufacturers worry more about releasing a better looking gauge and ignore large functional improvements, like a "telltale" feature that would show min / max readings are for a given run.

That way you wouldn't have to be looking at the gauges while driving to know what your peak boost / pyro or min fuel pressure reading was. Alarms for preset thresholds would be nice to. I know these features are available on some gauges, mostly digital ones, it'd be nice to see them go more mainstream in the 2" gauges.
