I got that same defi-d gauge boost gauge and it works perfect. Those are some nice new gauges for the tach, speed and whatnot. I dunno about the lights in the dark tho, I still love everything all red, but overall very nice

as for wiring the gauges...i hooked mine up to the stock gauge light wire so they light up when the car is turned on......the kit comes with perfect directions... i'll try to contact the sellar to see if he'd be interested in placing more on ebay or hooking up with EvoM for a group buy (i'm not sure how that works on this board). i'll keep you informed.

Can you ID/describe the stock gauge light for me/us? I have a new gauge in but no light because I didn't want to hack into electrical unless I knew what was what... Thanks!

Sure! It was a yellow wire, with a red stripe in the connector that is on the left side of the gauges (near the speedo, NOT the gas gauge)... then you just ground the black wire (i did it to the screw behind the gauge face) I have a full evo wiring diagram (and service manual) on CD that i could probably dig out if you need.


EDIT****

if you mean for a boost gauge, I'd hook into the green and white wire off of the gauge dimming switch... so you dont have to open the gauges up...

here's a link to the gauges... he added a group buy offer to the auction.



i spoke to the guy who i got these from last night... he said they are still in stock and they'd be $82 shipped per set... or if we got 5 orders they'd be $67 a piece or $62 a piece for ten orders.


please reply or PM me if anyone would be interested and i can put you in tocuh with this guy.

mods- could let me know how you typically set these things up (group buys)?

NICE!!! You'll love them. So easy to install and so worth the $$$. My only suggestion is to grab some 3m foam tape or a poster hanger type tape to secure the inverter to the rear of the meter brace so it doesnt vibrate while you drive
