Hey guys; I would like to add some guages (water, oil and amp) under my dash. Does anyone know of gauges that have both meter reading and idiot warning lights? THANKS |

John, Why not just add the gauges and leave your stock warning lights hooked up? |

IF YOU USE MECHANICAL GAUGES YOU WILL GET A BETTER READING YOU DONOT HAVE TOBOTHER WITH SENDING UNITES THAT CAN GO BAD |

This isn't the dark ages! Sending units on today's quality brand gauges don't go bad. On the other hand, a hard line from the oil pressure tap running into the interior of the car can and does leak oil. Much easier to run a wire inside than to run the pressure tubing. Go Electric. |

Skip that amp gauge. Use a volt gauge for a more intuitive reading of the charging system. |

IF SENDING UNITS DONT GO BAD WHY DO THEY MAKE REPLACEMENT UNITS IF MECHANICAL GAUGES ARE PUT RIGHT THEY SHOULD NOT LEAK |

If you want guages with a idiot light just go with digital guages. You can always see a numbered reading day or night. |
