They both have the right colour though the TEA has a warning light. TEA gauges come with 5 year warranty on the senders, which I think exceeds the Cobalt ones. However the Autometer come with a great reputation. I don't know much about the TEA longevity. What is peoples thoughts. I just want something that I can install and know it will work. I had Ozigauges in my old car though I had no end of trouble with the Oil Pressure sender. I went through three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holder to suit Falcons $300? Or are the senders not included in the gauge prices I've seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
