What do you think? I did it a while back, there was a water temp guage in the spot previously, so i took it out, and put in a boost guage.
Anyone else do this / got pics? i want to get a prosport guage and stick it in there :love:
cigg lighter = guage pod?!

I have mine in the same spot. Once you get used to the gauge being there you can watch it with your periferal vision. You don't need to see the number it's at if the needle always goes to the same place on the gauge. I just keep tabs on mine to make sure it's not way low/high.
EDIT: I forgot pics...

i've been practicing that.. it works pretty well... i can guess roughly where i am and look over and be in the same ballpark.
EDIT
nice interior... i see you got an autometer too, nice.

That's a terrible locations for any important instrumentation that requires some degree of regular observation, since it will require you to completely redirect your focus from the road.
dont worry, its mostly for show / passengers to see.. (so they dont lean over in fron of my face)
im getting an mk2 to put my 7mgte into it.... going to trade my mk3 body for an mk2 body,, or sell mine and buy an mk2 body
Did it once, regretted it. Ran a VDO gauge to match my cluster, but ultimately it was a bad location for the gauge and I wanted the cig-lighter as a power adapter.
Note: at this point the gauge no longer matched my cluster, ha.

nice white guages...
i never use the lighter.. it cant light up a bowl of purp.
HAH. i didnt say that.
i dont smoke cigarrettes and i dont have a cellphone, so that eliminated the cigg lighter for me.

hardwire in whatever you need your cig lighter for.
I put my fuel level gauge there... no pics i don't think though.
to whoever asked, its a 52mm gauge that fits with next to no modification.

yea i discovered this like 2 years ago. i loved it for awhile cause it just made me feel good that i was creative. lol
but after awhile its a BAD spot for any gauge that you constantly watch. like a water temp gauge is perfect there or oil temp or something but not a boost, wb02, or egt gauge
