I will be attempting to install both a voltmeter and ambient temp. gauge tomorrow on my 1990 244 DL and have a couple of pre-install questions.

(a) I have both bezels and rubber feet, but don't see how the feet are needed (or used)with the VDO screw connections to the bezel.

(b) What's the easiest way to wire these? I haven't been behind the dash yet, but have a Bentley guide to get me that far. The instructions with the gauges are overly generalized for all applications, so I was hoping someone could help me out. i.e. should I use snap connectors, solder (yuck), or what to the wiring harness?

(c) Should I use the green light bulb filter or leave alone to best match the dash lighting?

Any info would be much appreciated..Thanks!

Jason
