Yes it is possible, you will need to connect the pipework via a "t" piece into an existing vaccum pipe.

As for the wiring, just hook it into any switched live.

A popular pick up is the vacumm hose that feed's the fuel pressure eg, just a simple 'T' off that is normally ample to feed any gauge requirements.

cheers tom

I can get a pic of mine. I've got + and - running through a fused wire to the battery. Not wired in at mo as it only powers the light to see it at night.

i wire the gauge lighting to the illumination wires of the fag socket. It dims with the thumbwheel under the headlights then!!!

[vwmk3jon]

Didn't think of that!

[TomG401991]

mine needed a permanant live premanent ground and an ignition live i just used a multi meter to find the on the light switch and wired it via that then mounted it just next to the light switch ill get a picture and show you all (Y)
