Has anyone got a gauge fitted in the right hand air vent?? And have any pics of it lit up against the dash.

How much do they cost? And are they hard to fit?

What about the electrical part ie getting the backlight working. This is the only part that puts me off :/

i followed a install off here, to the right of that vent there is a fuse box, you can use that for ground and power quite easily.

Do some searching on here for boost gauge and you will find the install guide like i did
