Good info froggy. Way to step in.

Im going to bookmark this thread. Silver, what is your bill looking like after everything is ordered and done?

This might be my next mod. im always worried about the tranny temp when towing. Something I should have installed a while ago, but never have.

Silver, you know the guy we bought our HELLAS from? Hes got a ton of gauges on his ebay account. Something like 45 pages worth. I went through it all the other night. Seems to be pretty good prices. Youve got my head whirling around this whole gauge thing.

35 for the pillar, 79.95 for the gauge (shipped), and it looks like another 25-30 for the adapters. so about 140-145. im using the left over wire from the hellas and have some extra connectors too. you can get a less expensive gauge though. i just wanted one that matched the instruments and lit up at night

I wouldnt go cheap on the gauge either, I dont think anyways. Cosmetics is a lot, especially when your looking at it all the time.
