Installing Smith's Gauges
 
I am currently removing a complete set of VDO gauges from my car and replacing them with Smith's Classic gauges. I should have them out and completed by this weekend. Its a project and I would not want someone to do it without some knowledge and mechanical ability. Enough said about that. I am looking for someone who needs the VDO set complete with senders for all gauges. Looking for $550.00 for all. :)

Finally got the new gauges installed. The fuel sender is a 3 wire electronic sender and after some wait I have one. It has to be programed to the gauge. Hope to get it done soon and check everything for leaks. Its been a project but the look is super. I used LED lights to light the gauges as the lights in the kit do not allow one to see the gauge at night.

But that's the way Smith gauges are supposed to be! ;)

I really don't want to carry a flashlight in order to see the gauges so the next best thing was to improve the lighting. The blue LED's look fantastic with the blue car I have.
