I really like these gauges the display is wonderful. But the Oil pressure gauge isn't working because they sent me a bad gauge. It wont read anything. So just waiting for my new gauge.
Damn! that looks nice! did you install them yourself?

Yea i did it myself. Only took about 2hrs. The gauges are SLM gauges. They are from JAPAN. They pretty much are the SPW look alikes since SPW doesn't make them anymore. The only ones you can get are SLM or the Universal ones. But they look nice i love them.
so the gauge still didn't work after you T the stock sending unit? is the oil pressure gauge sending unit broken or something?

Yea the sending unit ended up being broke. And also the gauge they sent me wasn't getting signal. We took the signal wire and tried to ground it out to see if the gauge needle would move and it didn't so we figured out them two things were bad. Getting a new one soon. So it will be hooked up and everything. Thanks for your help that day shin.
ok, I've got a question now, since I'll be doing this soon to my car. but how did you wire these? I removed the plastic from my A-pillar the other day and I see there are 5 wires running up the A-pillar. I'm guessing (and hoping) you can tap into those for power and stuff. and then how did you route the wires to the engine bay? I looked, but there's no sticky on this or anything and I couldn't find any how-to's, I think someone should make one.

They look awesome by the way. did that one site I found for you end up carrying the SLM gauges?
