I was wondering how you did the lights on your gauges ? Looks like washer and some light socket ..

Could you explain a little more on what you are doing ?

Thanks!!

Thanks for the kudos.

You pretty much nailed what I did. The existing holes in the housing are made for the twist in sockets. You can get pigtails that fit, but they're about $3 each. Sockets like I used are $7 for 10 but they're just a bit to small to fit in the holes. So I used small machine screws to hold down some washers over the existing holes.
