	I spent a lot of time w/ some 6V and 12V gauges, a 12V power
supply, some resistors, and a multimeter.  Through trial-and-error, and
some reasonable estimates, I installed an additional internal resistor in
a 6V gauge that seems to help it perform reasonably well in my 12V car.

	The 12V gauges are readily available and pretty cheap at most
decent VW swap meets, though; Steven's suggestion is a very good one.
