If you want the perfect match then see if you can find Omori gauges. They make the STi cluster so the face and lighting are identical. However, they quit selling to NA and are mighty pricey. The next top pick for matching are the DEFI gauges (amber colour) but that rrquires the Defi link system and will cost $$$.

The "budget" option are Autometer and the red rubber bit on the bulb. You won't match your stock cluster, but the light colour will be close, they're accurate and cheap.

My suggestion for the 3rd gauge is an EGT as spikes in EGT are a poor man's way of knowing if you're running lean. As well, if something bad happens your EGT will usually spike well before your oil temp.

If you're not married to the idea of analogue gauges you could get a DTEC and custom up a mounting like Wombat.
