You ground the negative wire, if you open the driver side fuse box, there are two screws for that purpose. For the positive, If you look behind the fuse panel there are connectors that honda made for extra accessories that are number. You want #3 because it goes on with the parking/headlights. If your indiglo gauge didn't come with a standard size female tab connector .250 width, you can go to wal mart and buy it, along with a crimper. Just plug that into the #3 connector. Hope that helps.

It's not hard to install, you just have to make sure you tape down the gauges properly or the needles will get stuck. Tape around the needle area properly. Also make sure you don't pop out the needles because they are hard to calibrate.

Here's a link to removing tghe gauge cluster

i like the reverse iniglo. but what i don't like is the bright glow on the inside of the gauges. and in between the fuel gauge. any way to get rid of that? i just want the numbers and the hash marks to light up.

songoku : When installing the guages, did you remove the factory light bulbs located behind the guages? Do they show through or mess up the color at all especially when you have it in the reverse mode (ie. dark face and just illuminated numbers?

You're not going to see anything behind the indiglo gauge. I think you should just leave the stock bulbs.

Is the EL light bright enough if i placed the indiglo behind the stock face gauges? Reason why....i don't really like the white, i rather stick with the silver, but i do like the bright blue and red. So i was planing to stick them behind the stock ones. I know that the problem is that you can't take of the niddles, I was paning just to cut out the middle part of the indigos so i can fit it behind the niddle and the motor. Think it will work?

If that's the case you'll be better off running neon wires behind the gauge faces that way

they slide over. thats the best i can tell you. You need to just stert sliding them over and figureing out how to positioning them to get them over. Its not that hard.
