So I gather - think you still need to check the Temp reading on the sender...

Did them after my lad and a mate asked me to make 'em up for them to use... Just make's life easier if you are not into wiring... (Don't make much on them by the time I've bought 400 meter of wire and 300 connectors etc..) Hey-Ho helps fellow dubbers out!!....

Cheers... Let me know when you are ready for one...

T5 Bulbs... I used Green LED's and that makes them tie in with the rest of the dash and keeps it looking OEM...
