    Okay Speedie.....no lunch for you

    Thanks BR for the info.

    Gary and I tried the red condoms on the boost gauges and they were just to bright. Rotating the dimmer dial down causes the boost gauges to be readable but not the dash lights.

    Fair enough, Timmah. Buy me lunch next Saturday and I won't give it away...

    Depending on the size, I have some amber (orange) ones that might be better.

    Umm just use a lower wattage bulb for you gauge. I had to do that on an Autometer gauge I put in a different car.

    Oh and I will buy Speeds lunch if he would publicly spill the beans.
