Re: Mounting Fuel Gauge and 3 switches in Left Vent Panel

I installed them myself and I got a on/off flat toggle with a "BRIGHT" blue led light (I think at pep boys). I put it just to the right between the two gauges. (sorry, no complete pic yet!!) I got the angel adapters from "autometer" to fit those gauges. If you pull out the trim panel you will notice there's not alot of room and I didn't want to drill out the entire backing. I also like them because they are angled right at me when I'm driving.
If you are mechanically inclined at all you shouldn't have any problems modifying the panel. I am thinking about changing the two gauges to the autometer's "pro comp II". They are black all the time and they look more like the factory gauges, except they are black. They have a brushed aluminum bezel that matches the rest of the interior, and at night I'm not sure I like the "perimeter" lighting. And the pro comp II's light through the gauges. The jury is still out on this one. I also know you can combine the Sender's but I like being able to see both tank's at the same time, especially since when you fill them your filling both at the same time. If you toggle the gauges between sender's doesn't it take a moment to "catch" up to what's in the tank?
