Installing Gauges, Oil Pressure, Water Temp troubles Options

[jcbass7]

Searched and couldn't find what i needed.. (swap related so i posted here, sorry if it should be in the interior/elec)

I'm installing an oil pressure gauge and a water temp gauge..

they are both electric and were made by prosport.

My questions are... do i need to tap into things for the probes/senders or are there stock places i can bolt these into? Or..... should i tap the wires off of the stock sensors?

what do you think of the prosport gauges so far? hows the quality? i keep hearing good things about them, and they are priced very low.

well i love the styling, they are exactly what i was looking for in that aspect, the directions for installation could be better, but thats not a huge issue.. one thing that is becoming a problem is how deep they are.. they barely fit into the triple pod and im afraid i will have issues with the DCW single.. i may have to cut my dash which is the last thing i want to do.

There new series of Pro gauges or what not with warning lights and the peak light seems like they would be an awesome buy.

My opinion, so far i couldn't be happier with them



Manny,

I was thinking about doing that with the temp sensor, i was reading about that on a miata forum, is there an easy place to buy one of those?

I plan on ditching the stock oil pressure sensor so that one is easy

It almost costs the same as the gauge to get that adapter!!!
