I realize the >little backlights would have to be changed out (if they were 12v) but would >the rest of the units work as normal? I don't believe that the 12 volt gauges will work. I found a 6v VDO oil temp gauge on ebay about 2 1/2 years ago. It looks just like the newer 12 volt gauges, but is stamped 6v on back and works well in my '66. I wish I could find one that looks more vintage (gray face) but I was just happy to find a 6volt one! So, look around, I am sure there are more out there, especially if VDO made them with the black face/orange needle combination, which means that they were probably made up through the 80's sometime. -Yancy Everhart '66 Squareback '66 Sunroof Beetle ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
