Yo IndyPwr,

How long have you had the gauges? They are in working order right? Also um how do I go about making a custom holder in place of the ashtray? thanks

the gauges are in great working condition. you can change the light to: blue/white, red or green ambers by changing the bulb covers in the back!..

mounting place: you need to go to a car stereo shop and ask for a black plastic plate......i forgot the name of it. it's only $10!!

then i used a door **** hole maker, you find this on any hardware stor. this type of drill is used in making holes to put door *****. it's almost the same size of the gauges, 2inch 1/16,
and very easy to use with a drill. you have a drill, dont you?

Sup IndyPwr,

I am assuming you've had the gauges for quite awhile so yeah...Hey um I do have a drill. But knowing myself I'll probably mess up doing it. Alot of my friends tell me that they can do it for me, but I really am not sure right now because if my car gets messed up, you know what happens........ So basically now that you have the gauges connected, do you actually see the wires under your hood? I am just afraid that the wires may melt or burn out since its under the hood.

sorry, ive had the gauges fr about 3 mos now.....not that long.
the wires are pretty much hidden, with my set-up. only wire showing, barely, is my temp gauge wire. that wire has to be kind of thick....a little thicker than speaker wire.

i'll help you out, man.....just takes time.....that's all
i cant do the water temp, though. too hard and i dont want to mess up anything in yr car. thank god nothing with my car!!
