If you're a stickler and want everything to match, try and find one of their older gauges made for the pre-facelift cars.

I ended up installing facelift vent housings and rerouted/cleaned up my wiring to tap into that power source.
Yeah my housings do light up red, if your talking about the little dial looking thing lol. I may have to buy one of them here soon. I am starting to believe mine may have a boost leak though just from all the things I have been reading. Thanks so much for all of your help. Ill keep you posted with how everything goes. Thanks again

NP, and yeah I do mean the little dial. Keep an eye out on eBay and forum's classifieds for part outs, nothing wrong with a used boost gauge.

Let us know how it works out.
