Haha, thanks. It keeps it simple to install.
This afternoon I wired the voltmeter up. It is a little on the bright side, but we'll see how it during the day and night.

I installed basically the same voltmeter last year maybe, green and bright. It was too bright at night. I took old sunglasses that I found in the street and cut a filter for it. Much better now. Btw, the whole assembly looks really good though.

After driving with it for a week now I can definitely agree that its way too bright. Its gotta light up the cabin at night haha. I asked the maker of it if it could be dimmed. Not sure exactly what I'll do yet, but a tint/film is a definite possibility.
