Default gto gauges...missing 2 of them?

im looking at moulding in a blue set of gto gauges into my custom dash in my truck to go along with my ls1 swap. Found a set with the wiring coming out of the back for $350 shipped. How hard would it be to wire these into another vehicle and also where are the missing gauges? Are they digital or what? also does anyone have any pics of them at night or know what color they are lit up?
thanks

they are digital displays, the one under the fuel gauge gives fuel consumption info, and the one under the temp gauge gives trip information

so what about the oil and alt gauges? Are they just idiot lights or what?

Are there any aftermarket gauges that match up with the styling?

I believe the Monaro's get those gauges on the gauge pod on the dash. They should match perfectly.

Yeah except for the fact the point to the right
There's a company making them for the GTO, can't remember who it was. Search around on ls1gto.com and you should find it.

I'm hoping that the gauge pod comes with the '05 so we can by it for the '04...but if not, do you suppose that the gauges & harness can be purchased separately thru Holden-Australia for us to use in aftermarket pods?

Default Holden gauges/harness

Hey Slick,

Do you suppose that you could check as to whether there is a harness of sorts that comes with that gauge pod/gauges? If everything is there (but the wrong facing pod), then it is a simple matter to buy the aftermarket pod that JimmyP found above and installing the matching gauges from Holden.
