alright so i finally got my indiglo guages.....i put them on and everything is ready...but the problem i am having is that it tells you to hook up the red and black wire to the headlight...i don't know where the headlight wires are.....if someone can tell me that where the headlight wire are or if their is any other way that i can hook it up like from the fuse box or something let me know....thanks

 

Hey phat4evry1,

I took the wires and spliced them into the switched wires on the dimmer switch. Try unplugging the switch and splicing the indiglo guage wires there. That way, they won't always be on. I hope this helps.

 

or u can tap into the fuse box and wire them like that.. ground newhere u want... then find the parking lights fuse and wire the red wire into the fuse.. that way it is fused and safe...

 

would it be bad if u just connected the gauges to your battery?

 

I wouldn't recommend hooking the gauges directly to the battery because 1.) you wouldn't have a fuse hooked up between the gauge and the battery. So if there was a power problem the gauges would just burn out. 2.) They would be on all the time and wouldn't go on and off when you turned your lights on. Try to put them on a switched source. If your only option is to hook them up straight to the battery, hook up an on/off switch and a fuse between the gauges and the battery.

 

thanks guys

 

oh yea, i forgot to mention. i do have a switched hooked up to them. i will just wait to till i get the really TL gauges before i open up my dash again. i dont want to break anything else
