1.Remove your radio bezel
2.Get a hole drill bit
3.Drill 2 inch hole(may need to trim depending on fit) where your cigarette lighter is
4.insert gauge

stop multiposting. it makes things hard to read. You can go back through an edit the last post if you forgot to say something.
also.. make sure your using the proper syntax.. [img]yourimagepath.jpg[\img] (i purposely used the wrong slash, so it didn't think i was posting an image there)

ok... I usually have better luck copying the direct link, then clicking the button that looks like a brown mountain, yellow sky, gray sun, in a little box.
then paste the direct image link into the box that come up.
..and i'm not trying to be a jerk, i've just done a bunch of how-tos on the site, and everyone likes a nice easy to read long first post, with linked pictures. Just giving some tips, so your work is more respected amongst the community.

That would look better if you used a gauge that actually matched the bezel (I.E. - black). I essentially did the same thing in my Escort:
