I got a guage mounted on my dash like the one in the photo above and it is a pain at night, Its too bright and makes it hard to see clear.

I have used the Autron pillar pod, and found the easiest place to get it is from your local Autron dealer. Ring Autron in Melbourne and ask for the local dealer, my dealer didn't even know about the pillar pods as he only used their cruise controls, but was happy to get on in. Price wise most of the online stores/ebay are more expensive once freight in included (or you might be saving $5) and my dealer had it next day.

All fit up neat.

Gauges are well positioned just on the edge of normal driving vision.

I wired power to the EGT gauge from the "ON" in the fuse box, and routed the lights to the dash dimmer switch so the gauges can be dimmed with the rest of the dash lighting.

I think Autron could provide a better product for $155, but none the less it looks factory in a ricer kind of way.
