You mention a digital readout and then LED's?  Anyhow, came across this and 
thought it was neat, not advocating it yet but still thought it was 
interesting. Built into his rear view mirror, first URL is general and 2nd

properly wired and doubled up for one per bank in the same gauge, nicely 
done as well.
