thanks for the tip!

I would most prefer to have something like this

10 VDC PANEL METER | AllElectronics.com

because... all I have to do is ground it and plug it into the right wire. If I could find a 5 volt meter that would be even better. The only drawback is that there is no backlight. So either I jimmy one up or only use it in daylight.

A digital one is cool, but I would rather not have to supply power to one if it could be avoided, and what if it uses a 9v battery? How can you get 9v to something in the car?

I wish there was an automotive voltmeter that had a range other than 8-18 volts.

Thanks for the help.
