The brand is jdm. I got em on eBay.
Oil pressure gauge.
Oil temp gauge
And vacuum gauge.
The ones I'm gettin are not digital.
They are mechanical.
I'm goin to mount them on the vents for the a/c. I got dot done already.
I just need to knw how to plug em or where to get the power from.
When they are off. U can't see anything, the lights come on when the switch is open.
I hope this helps.
Thank u for the help

Why a vacuum gauge?
Get the following:
Wideband A/F Ratio
Fuel Pressure
Water Temp

Pull the power from the fuse box buy the drivers door. Run a single power wire to a small junction box. Individually fuse them and common ground. Done.
Ls1camino is right. those are the 3 you want.

If they are "mechanical" gauges, make sure you have a "metal" line for the oil temp, if you use a plastic line, sooner or later it is going to leak oil.

Need some help,
To install the oil temp and oil pressure. I need something called, "oil filter adapter sandwich plate."
Where do I buy that?
I saw one on eBay. It says it's universal. Are they all the same?
Thanks
