We mounted VDO gauges in the dash and it is illuminated by green bulbs
so the night color matches the dash.

On the left is a mechanical oil  pressure gauge (P/N 150 037)
In the middle is a oil temperature gauge  (P/N  310 512)
On the right is a voltage gauge.
(VDO P/N 332 502)
For the Temperature sender ( VDO P/N 323 057) I removed the plug for the oil port and then tapped a 3/8 NPT tread into the engine block( the hole that is present after removing the gold color plug cap is the perfect size for that size tap) I Also used high temp wire for the sender. 
For the mechanical oil pressure gauge I drilled and tapped a 1/8 NPT  into the engine block filter area and installed a high pressure stainless steel hose back into the cab to attach to the gauge.
All gauges, green boots (Light diffusers) for the bulbs, and sending units were purchased at:
