Default Aeroforce Gauge, What color Back light should I get?

I am going to mount a single Aeroforce gauge in a SRT pillar mount, What color back light should I get? Green/Black or White/Black? I know green would match dash better but I think White/Black would match a lot more things if I decide to move gauges to another vehicle or if I change Gauge light colors. What do you guys think? Thanks

Personal choice. I'd match the dash lights myself.

I am stuck between the 2, I would like at some point to change my dash over to blue but I dont know if I ever will, SO I don't want to get the Blue now but figured if I got the White/Black it would work with either green or blue dash.

Was it hard to change it to blue? Which do you like better? Blue looks a bit bright.

I installed the gauge and it looks nice, I got the green led and left the black face plate on it. The instructions say it should just be pushed into the SRT-10 pilliar but it was to loose I guess you are supposed to use the metal bracket that comes with it to hold it on, Not sure I have it in right but it doesn't move and looks good.

The gauge it self does feel a bit flimsy Hope it holds up for the long haul, the instructions suck and the gauge has a lot of options/ features so ill need to play around with it.

Now I need to figure out what to monitor or what to have in the scan. I do at some point want to add a sensor to the Rear end as my cover does have this port.

It wasnt hard at all to do the blue, I love it. it's not too bright, but you can't adjust the brightness anymore.

The gauge should go in, and the metal brack should be like a U and bolt to the back of the gauge and press against the pillar

Yessir, they turn off if you try to dim them, and have to turn off headlight switch then turn back on for them to come back on.
