Anyone ever bought illuminated auto meter gauges?

[Btownmills]

I bought the boost/vac and oil pressure gauge but they didnt cone with any wires, just the clear tube. Is that all i need to install them or do i need to buy wires seperately?

I wouldnt use a the oil gauge with the tube, if it broke, you'd get a cool oil spill in the car.

Electronic oil pressure gauges are better imo.

The vac/boost gauge just needs to see vacuum, connect it under the snout area or just to that line that runs around the blower.

Odd that they didnt come with a bulb and wires

What do you mean by electronic oil gauges? And I figured they would, but sadly they didn't. I'm not even sure where to start looking unless they just illuminate on their own.

you have mechanical gauges the only wires you need are a + and - for it to light up

Could I get those at any auto parts store? Where should I hook them up to?

Yes. You just need 2 wires. A power and ground and then the bulb if it didn't come with it.

Take a pic. There should be a hole in the back to stick a bulb into.

Did the clear tube just come with the Vac gauge or did it come with the oil pressure gauge too? Take pics of front and back of both gauges and post em up.
