FD gauges with S4

A friend and I are picking up an almost complete interior for an FD

the plan is to put it into the FC...i think weve all seen it done before but i just have a question

to get the FD gauge cluster to work with an S4...what do i need to do?

i had rewired the S5 cluster to work...now to go S6

i did the fd gauges in my s5 .the oil pressure , temp and fuel all work just 12v signal and ground, you have to cut them apart and find a way to adhere them to your cluster i used epoxy. the tach is the same. the speedo i haven't gotten to work yet so i put a nice digital led speedo in the stock speedo circle with a carbon fiber trim piece to fill up the rest of the circle. i'll try to post a pik later. you have to also get a way to light them up , i used led red bulbs and made a christmas tree like series that runs behind the gauges. its possible alot of work for no real accuracy it's just a visual thing. hope you have supporting gauges and don't look towards the fd stuff for any real feed back.but it looks nice.o by the way i didn't see your using the whole fd cluster for that just follow the pinouts.

it's hard enough to keep an FD interior from shattering to pieces in an actual FD...

there is a guy in the non-tech section who somehow fit the entire FD interior into an FC... it looked really nice.
