Default VDO Boost Gauge

Hey AudiWorld. I've been a member over at AudiForums for quite some time, but I figured two forums are better than one so thats why I'm here. Anyway, just bought a VDO 30"-25psi boost gauge and a red wedge LED to match the stock gauges. Problem is, I don't know how to install the LED! Can anyone shed some light on my situation?

30" boost gauge? That might attract some attention...

If you're asking simply how to change out the original bulb with the led; the bulb just comes out from the back of the gauge. If I remember correctly, you just squeeze the two sides of the black piece that hides the bulb.

If you're question is about installing a resistor with the led, I would check to make sure it is not incorporated in the bulb already. Most of them I have seen have the resistor built in.
