freeze_dk I am dissatisfied with my current employment situation Donating Members 8,610 Member For: 17y 6m 22d Gender: Male Posted 26/10/13 05:59 AM Share Posted 26/10/13 05:59 AM (edited) Impossible to fit them without trimming them, I cut mine down flat to the gauge. To make them tighter you can just wrap the gauge a couple of times with electrical tapeWith wiring, both my oil press and boost run there lights off the spare light source behind the cigarette lighter. I ran my oil press power to my ignition wire Edited 26/10/13 06:01 AM by freeze_dk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
