The second one for me, the first doesn't match the rest of the dials, the third type can be unreliable, and I don't think the fourth one reacts quick enough.

As above, the fourth ones is a bit slow. The multi-coloured ones are good, as you can set them to mimic your dash lights but the one i had failed pretty quickly so I'm using the cheapest one ebay had to offer which would be what youve called white dial... believe me, at 3am, when youre tired and you have that green/blue plasma glow in your face, it dont seem that nice buddy. Put a switch in, save your eyes lol.

Yup, 2nd one for me too, as Martin says will be easier on the eyes at night.

Guys, let's get this right. There is only 3 gauges on show not 4! You all mean the second gauge not the third one which is digital. I also think the second gauge as you can match the led to your dash. The digital ones are not very accurate.

Strictly speaking you're correct Lee, but picture 2 the gauge reads in bar whereas the 7 together read in PSI, so there are in fact 4 different types of gauge. ;)
