right not sure if this is the right section so bare with me if its wrong.im looking into gettin pillar gauges either water temp and volt meter or oil temp and volt meter or even rpm,now im wondering how easy is it to wire these in so they read temperature etc.im guessing the volt meter will be a p*ss easy but just wondered if anyone who has done it before can give me a hand cheers.

#2temp guage is easy mate, one wire to an earth point, 1 wire to the stereo to light up the guage when the ignition is on, or to your light switch so it lights up when you turn your lights on, and the temp sensor wire goes to the temp sendor on the side of the engine. Theres 2 wires coming from it, 1 green and 1 pink if i remember right. unplug it, if you original temp guage goes off, cut the pink wire and join your new wire to that and wallaa, new guage
