Default fitting ST oil temp/pressure gauge help to standard please

hi,
i know on most cars the loom in genrally made to the top spec so connectors are normally there but not utalised in all models. i have an 03 1.8 mp3 and id like to fit the oil temp/pressure gauges instead of the cubbey hole/tray. anyone done this or know what\how to do it? do i have to by seders for the gaguges or 't' pieces and if so will the st ones fit or can i get eg; demon tweek ones?

does teh standard alarm have proxy sensors inside the car and are they on the courtesey light?if not can not can you get the light with them and use it?

only had the focus a month just want ot keep to suttle things this time, thanks for any help

james

This was something we RS owners looked into ages ago.
As far as I can remember they won't work.
Basically the gauges take a signal from the ST's ECU.
The ST uses a different ECU to all the other Mk1 Focuses so it ended up being a total non-starter as the gauges don't use a 12v supply like other aftermarket gauges.
