Re: voltage regulator

I think the only difference is that most of the new ones are solid state. At least the replacement I got for my GMC was. Doesn't matter if you have gauges or lamps.

They're made to regulate the voltage depending on vehicle's needs to keep it at constant level. Old style had mechanical relays to regulate voltage and new ones have transistors.
