I think the second one, but just look for the red bulb that comes with the gauge

#2 - you put the little red condom on the light to make it red I think.

I have the 2nd one. Looks good with the red bulb cover installed.

Unfortunately I don;t have a pic of it with the lights on.

Yeah you can either buy a red led or use the red bulb cover, ive liked the look of red LED better cause the covered bulb ive seen looks kinda washed out. Looking at the pictures between those two gauges it looks like one has vac and the other doesnt, the one that doesnt has thinner lines and writing which i dont like as much. But yeah you can have any color for any gauge so it doesnt matter which u buy.

I got an Autometer (which has crapped out on me twice) and I have the bulb with the red rubber on it and you can't see too well in the dark so I'd say get the led light for it.
