I looked at putting one in, but the cluster isn't designed for one, so if you know a bit about wiring and cut the cluster, then I understand it can be done. You will also need the sender, which is �38. Edited by MICHAEL, Wed Oct 14, 2009 7:28 am.

All you need to do is connect the 3 wires up: 1. Ignition 2. Ground 3. Illumination. Run the wire for the sender and connect it up. You also have to break out the piece of plastic on the instrument cluster, seems like a difficult task but its not

Newbie Posts: 17 Group: Members Member #3,908 Joined: March 2, 2009	Thanks for your reply Michael.The otg has 2 wires attached - am I wrong in thinking that one connects behind the otg (I assume the wiring is there on all models) and the other is the temperature sensor ? Would I still need the sender you mention ? Alan
