Indiglo Gauge Installation?

[the5thelement]

Hey-

Car: Eclipse 1999 GS

I am having a lot of trouble with my indiglo gauges. I read the FAQ and I am EXTREMELY sketchy when it gets to the wiring part. I don't know where I am supposed to get power from to the gauges? I tried hooking the gauges straight to the battery and that didn't really work. I am just extremely frustrated with FAQ and need a better explanation. Thanks

here is a better one dude ok the gauges are in and you just need to get power do what i did and hook them up to the lighter ring. it works but there are two wires that work there. you remove the panel there and look there is one that is connected right to the back of the lighter *it works but the gauges stay on all the time or there is a green farthest away with white stripe *that goes to the ring around the lighter and comes on only when lights are turned on. those are the easiest two wires to get to and there isn't any knuckle scrapping. good luck.

Hey-

Thanks for the info... I think my gauges are broken and that was the problem. I already looked at the FAQ and PMed some people and go a lot of feedback. Thanks, DSM all the way.

I wired them to the power on the dimmer switch, but be sure you have a good ground connection. (steering column is where I did it).
Hope this helps.
Peace
