As for the lights, they are illuminated by the cluster's microcontroller, based on data from the ECM (who processes the sensor data).
men that socks, cus i really want it to put this water temp gauge on cus it match my tach and my voltmeter, i guess am gonna have to get some sort of adapter so i can get the sensor in

thank buddy
