• Limited visibility of dash instruments at night
• Need for a compact gauge in a custom or replacement panel
• Replacement of a worn or nonfunctioning oil temperature gauge

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 2 1/16-inch opening before installation and confirm the electrical sensor routing matches your vehicle or custom setup. Because this is a universal gauge, installation should be matched to the dash layout, sensor location, and wiring requirements of the vehicle. For 1967-1979 Volkswagen Beetle applications, confirm the instrument-panel space and sensor compatibility before final assembly.
