Looking for a red lens for a Mk 2 to make the empeg match perfectly with my Audi dash.

I don't want to disappoint you, but I'm currently using a red lens, and while it was a perfect match with the orangy colour of my former BMW's dash, it's too orangy to be a nice match with my current Alfa Romeo's dash. If I'm not mistaken, the deep red of my Alfa if about the same as Audi's deep red.

Yes. I use the red lens in a 98 BMW and it's an almost perfect match. Picture here:

OK perfect may not be the right word but closeer than the amber I have at the moment. By the way how do I tell if I have a Mk2 or a Mk2a, and does it matter when it comes to lenses?

The MK2 was empeg branded, while the 2a was Rio branded. Lens wise, they are identical.
