I dont know why some people would hate it? It looks good! I wish I could do 3 gauges apart. I bought the 2 5/8 Autometer Sport Comp gauges so I can only fit two across

On the back of the dimmer switch it's the green wire on the harness/plug that goes to it.

Thanks I just wish I could find a nice way to cover up the back end of the parking brake.

Nitrous pressure gauge is in now.. looks a little more complete.

Do you just pop out the "vent" and push them in and they stay because its a tight fit ?
