Got to say- its a rather good location for the guage. Where does the light switch go then?

I would have been good, if VW had built a boost guage on the clocks.

You can see the switch on the lower dash trim.

I like the location of the gauge, I'm not a fan of having the headlight switch down there though.

Didn't really know where else to put it as the dash is curved behind the panel and didn't want to cut too much away, also I was restricted with the length of the plug as I didn't want to extend all those wires!!!!

It'll do for now till I sort it properly and either get a new gauge or spray that one black  :wink:
