The Autometer Phantom series match the fonts of the Audi gauges pretty
well, IMHO. They're also reasonably priced and come in analog sensor
or electric sensor versions. They are backlit, made red w/ bulb condom.
They match really well during the day. At night, they're only red
light with black numbers.

I found a decent price for these on the internet at this URL

The side benefit for me turned out that they're 20 miles away. Pay tax
and avoid shipping. (or vice versa)
