Because each installation is different, sending units and LEDs are not included with the purchase of an individual gauge and must be purchased separately.
Which sender do I need?
You have the choice of many VDO senders for this gauge, however we only sell one. We offer an 1/8" NPT sender for this gauge. Typically there is no plug & play location to install a water temp sender in VWs and most modern imports. 1/8" NPT fits basically all aftermarket adaptors and is easily tapped into existing coolant fittings.

Which LED do I need?
This gauge includes a white 194 light bulb. For the ultimate in visibility and color we recommend the use of a high intensity 194 LED. Unlike the vision series, the cockpit international series uses side-lit illumination. This means that the light needs to travel around the face of the gauge to light it up. A very bright LED is needed to achieve a well lit gauge. Our standard 194 wedge style LEDs and our perfect match LEDs are not recommended for cockpit international series gauges.
High Intensity 194 Wedge Style LEDs
Our new high intensity LEDs are the ultimate in brightness. When installed in a VDO cockpit international series gauge these LEDs provide illumination which typically exceeds the brightness of an incandescent light bulb. These LEDs are available in 5 colors and are priced at $8 per LED.
