Ford Autometer 3 Guage Package - BCDP

I'm getting ready to place an order for the 3 guage package. I'm wondering if it is worth the $75 for them to assemble the gauges / pod.

Depends on your wiring skills. If you're unsure about them, it's worth every penny. For me, I wouldn't want someone else doing it though. Unfortunately, there is no right or wrong answer to this one.

Wiring is no problem and I think that is where I'm confused. How does having them assemble it decrease the wiring? Do they simply connect 3+ and 3- bulb wires into 2?

"pre-assembly" is worth all the $75 to me. i hate electrical unless it is plug and play, and this really was nice. the gauges were already wired and plumbed for boost and wired for the thermocouple and the tranny sender. plus the pod was already primed and painted. just drill some holes and plug the gauges in at their respective locations, and youre "good to go" just like the TacoBell dude.

the wiring isnt too tough to figure out. i dont think it is worth an extra $20 let alone $75. once you get the wires figured out which one goes where it is very simple. just splice and connect
