Whelp, as promised, here's the gauge from Speedhut - got it yesterday and hope to install it relatively soon. As usual, they did an INCREDIBLE job on matching the font.

I'll post up a pic of both my dash and the gauge for those who might be unfamiliar with the "FX" appearing dash......

DASH pics..... Sorry, the camera wouldn't capture the red color accurately from the dash :-(





...and the BOOST GUAGE...

What wire did you tap into for the light? I used the purple w/gray on the dimmer switch, it dims and is on with courtesy lights and headlights, but is not on with the rest of the gauges while the headlights are off.

What's the difference in dashes of the FX series between 2011 and 2012? All you have to do is call Speedhut and if they don't already have your specific graphics on hand, you can send them a picture, like I did, and they can get it done for you perfectly!

I chose the left vent location because its so much easyer you dont have to remove the trim panle just pop the cover of of the end of the dash and you have axcess to the headlight switch and there is a gromet through the firewall that is just above the e brake and the boost line is just the right length to reach the "T" mounted on the right rear of the manifold. I conected my light wires useing twist lock conecters so if I want to change color I just pop off the end panel and everything is right there
