Gauges question...
 
Hey guys,

I am installing new indiglo white/blue gauges and the question I have is what do you think is the best wire to make the connection with for power to the inverter for the gauges?

Thanks,
-Sov

Any switched source, or the stock illumination circuit for the gauges

Would it be at all possible to keep the stock dimmer functional? thats what i was thinking.. connecting it to stock circuit but i was worried that the two inverters would burn eachother out?

remove stock inverter, use DC source wires to wire new inverter

Hey guys im having a problem getting the gauges onto the speedometer or the odometer because of the needle.. there is no way to take it off and then put the gauge on?

Please help!!!

you should be able to slip the gauge face over the needle long end first and then slip it over the short end. It is simple enough, you will figure it out

got it .. thanks! reading your reply was a confidence booster!

now can you help me on deciding where to connect the inverter... to which cable?

I have no clue at this moment on where I will be making the connection..

I actually hooked mine up to the lead to the parking ligths when I did it in my old 94. Worked well and I didn't burn out the stock circuit which I know has happened before with people trying to use their dimmer

Any hints on where i can find those wires for the parking lights? or did you just connect it straight to the parking lights switch? sorry for all the questions... I should have done more research on this before going on with installation and now its getting dark and my car has no speedometer! :(

I ran a wire from the parking light on the front driver's side. Not the best way to do it but was succesful

It worked alright. Kinda strange but it didnt blow up all the electrical stuff like when I wired up into the illum. circuit
