The volt meter has 3 wires: power, ground, dimmer (illumination). Some may have a 4th. Its about as easy as it gets when it comes to gauges... except for the ones that plug into the cig lighter

Just buy a pod, mount the sucker, and be done with it.

I already have a pod, wanted to use less space.
But just in case I get another pod to put a voltmeter, does anyone know how much that install would cost me? (voltmeter+new pod gauge)

Probably no help from me, since you're already using a pod, but this is where mine is. Yes I know the gauges were sitting crooked at the time of the picture.

If you are looking at having a shop do it, much like body work, prices and participation may vary.

Depending on where you want the gauge, it could be a 20 minute job up to an hour or so if they have to take most of the dash out to mount it. Then you need to take into account labor / hour, which I won't have an answer because everywhere is different.

If you are putting it in a pillar pod, its a simple DIY job.
