Fits perfectly into one of the switch positions. with my new works I’ve done i think I might install it.

You can get them through eBay but they are from solid kit, you can get red as well, would recommend!

Solid kit got an Aussie site. Was considering it also neat and tidy.

Oh damn, Airbags ruin all the fun.

I haven’t bought my gauge yet, I’m still trying to see if they’ll do one in green. Blue seems to be pretty piercing at night haha

VMANN let me know what they say, wouldn’t mind changing mine to match everything else!
I had these two of these gauges on my rodeo and the green one was blinding at night!

But you can always put something over it to dull it down

Going to sound like a dumb question but...........

Once you start the car and get things running does the voltage show the same numbers once the alternator is providing charge to the whole system?

Thanks

Mine has a ctek controller which adjusts the charge rate for the second battery. So when I start my car the main battery will go to around 14v, once it's fully charged (which doesn't take long) then it will drop to around 13.6v and the auxiliary battery will go up to 14v. If you have the two batteries connected without a controller both will read the same.
The more fuel I use, the more fun I have!
