OAT Gauge

Does anyone know of a good OAT gauge that will look good in the cab and not like I bought it at 7Eleven? I don't have the factory

Also, is everything there to install the factory one on the head liner? ie, just plug and play? Thanks

I have been looking around for one myself. I want to monitor the temp of inside my cold air box during my trip to Florida. I can't find anything locally but I did find these:

I wish that I could get one locally.

I went the route of a Gentex mirror w/ the compass and OAT. It looks really slick.

I paid ~$35 for it on fleabay, IIRC.

Wow, thats an awesome price. Was it used? How hard was it to wire up?

I loved my wife's old explorer that had the OAT. I looked at it all the time. Wish my truck had it.

yes, it was used. wiring was a breeze. they are around $200 new.

they really are a snap to install. i like the dimmed feature. really helps a lot at night when someone behind me has their brights on.

I let them pass me, then i give them a taste of my homemade BRITEBOX treatment from the 07 headlightts w/ silverstar bulbs
