Does anyone know how I am supposed to wire up these aftermarket guages?
They are the ones you slip over the needles in the cluster and they come with their own knob for changing the color and brightness, but I'm a little confused on how I'm supposed to hook them up. Picture for refference:  I know the guages themselves will plug into the 3 (there's actually 4) in the middle. But I don't know about A) the 4th middle one and B) the wires on the far right. Can you guys help me figure this out? -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

They didn't come with a manual (bought from another member), so I guess that's why I didn't know about the adhesive.
Thanks Death. Edit: seems double sided tape works pretty well too  Now time to wire it all up.

Also be very careful not to remove the needles - it's really easy to do and they will be off after that. --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

The RPM, Speedo, and temp gauges seem to be fine now (not sticking). Not possitive about the gas gauge yet since I havn't driven very far, but we'll see. -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"
