Hey I finally got around to installing my indiglo gauges. I read the description, pretty straight-forward. I just got stuck at the wiring part. The red and black power wires from the indiglo gauges should be connected to the green white and black white wires on the dimmer socket switch right? I did this and none of my gauges lighted up, course i didnt sauder the connection so it couldve been lose. Just wanna see if im doing it right.
Also I got this weird looking ribben with colored dotted pad at the end connected to the same black box that the red and black wires are connected to. Anyone know what i do with this? |

If you read my description of the Halo Gauges & Indiglow Needles it describes how i hooked up the wires and i've had no problems. If i remember the wires correctly (too lazy to look at post) the blue connector has a white w/green dots and a solid green wire on the far left of the connector. I installed the possitive to the solid green and the negative to the white w/green dots. I just pulled off enough covering on the wires so i could stick the wire into the connector and they light right up. You can even use your existing dimmer switch to control the brightness of the gauges since the 2 wires you use are the positive and negative for the 194 bulbs that light up the gauges.
Hope this all makes sense and helps ya out. |
