I cant see it being easy really, its going to need some very complex electronic`s? (custom)
Your going to have to link this to the engine sensors and then calibrade the indicators to each given temp step.
So each light will go out in correspondence to a predefined temp in relation to the engine?

Quite easy with a little 'PIC' controller, basic electronics and some splicing into the existing harness.
I know someone who could do this for you if interested. [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I am currently making a similar looking system for an S2 boost gauge. It will retain a proper factory finish and even the LEDs dim as the headlights go on so they are not so bright at night.
Should be posting piccies within the next few weeks once a replacement or modified dial is made to my spec. I have already had some contact with a company that makes custom displays for the miltary and they will hopefully be able to make me replacement dials that are indistinguishable aesthetically from the standard fit dials.

Hi Lee
Look forward to the piccies and report. Wouldn't mind a boost gauge for my beast if I can find something suitable and in keeping with current dials etc.
