Quick electrical question i need some help/advice with.....

Basically, all i need to do is covert 12v down to 1.5v to run a small temperature gauge in my car.

Any ideas/suggestions/products that will help me do the job!!??

PS: Preferably a small device i can hide behind my glove box that i will wire in.

You need one of these:

http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/module.asp?CartID=040616133336969&moduleno=8067

With this set up you can regulate anywhere between 1.2v upwards.

Thanks to Houckham for the information.
