Gday Fellas, was just having a quick look on the forums about installing an Autometer/shiftlight into my car. Is the mounting/wiring a painful job or is it all a straight forward process?
If anybody has pics of one mounted either on the left of the dash hood or the right, could i please see a few. s i dont know what side to install it on as well.
Cheers blokes
:thumbsup:

who cares about the airvent?

i recon tachos are too big to have on the left.. it sticks out and looks out of place.. but i guess thats just my opinion..

i think putting it on the right will block the quality of sound coming out of the speaker. if you use them, i have pioneers in the dash so i'm putting my tacho on the left. i don't see the point of a monster tacho though. unless its a drag car. who wants a bright light flashing in their eyes at night? stuffs your night vision. If you need the light to tell you when to change gear then there's something wrong. No offence. It's like all these jokers in rice cars.
