VDO cluster
![]() Here is the VDO gauge cluster I put together.I went from a 3 hole dummy light to this.I used Cole Hearse green lights for turn indicators and a blue led for high beams.It is wired to a 12 pin male/female quick disconnect{painless}for ease of removal.I used the factory wires but cut the factory plug then color matched the wiring. |

Re: VDO cluster
I have always liked the VDO gauges since the days of owning volkswagens. What is the chrome ring lookin things around all the gauges? Looks great.

The chrome is the bezel itself,there is a small chrome{plastic}trim ring around each hole. |

Re: VDO cluster
Very nice those guages seem to fit the dash bezel really well.

Re: VDO cluster
i'm guessing the vdo gauges are cheaper than the autometers? Where do you find VDO's anyways. I also know them from my old VW's

Re: VDO cluster
These came from Summit.They are a real quality gauge/sender.Not sure how they compare to others in price.They dont use a bracket system for mounting,there is a large plastic ring{like a nut}that threads onto the whole gauge housing.Its all I have used for awhile now and not sure how everything else is mounted.The speedometer is pretty slick the way its calabrated,you just hit a reset button go a true measured mile,hit the button again and you are calabrated{checked with gps,its right on}.
