12v gauges in 5 ton?

Anyone dropped a resistor inline to run a 12v gauge? I found mechanical boost and egt in 12v but not 24v. I think it would just be lighting that would take power and could maybe even switch out the bulb?

find out which bulb it is and swap it for a wide voltage LED. Everything else is just mechanical.

If they are mechanical gauges, then they only need power for the lighting. Swap the bulb as Simp stated, or you can run a transformer to step it down. Other option is to order 24 volt gauges. Hewitt industries has quality products that are 24 volt as well. I run their EGT gauge and like it.

Thanks guys! Gauges are ordered. They are Hewitt gauges, but coming with boost and egt from amazon as the price can't be beat.
