Other ways of wiring for the Reverse Indiglow Gauges?

[BacknBlack92ESi]

I got the Reverse Indiglow Gauges from ProCarParts.com about a week ago. I installed them and all. I wired them up from the stock dimmer switch. I didnt know of another way to wire them up. So now since I spliced the stock dimmer switch for the black and red wires that are for the gauges, my HVAC lights do not light up, also my needles dont light up anymore. << Because I spliced and used the stock Dimmer Switch. Whats another way of wiring them? Or a way to re-wire up my HVAC lights and cluster lights to work seperate of the gauges. Sorry if I dont make much sense but im not a specialist in wiring and etc.... Any help is appreciated. It be even more great if some of you guys showed pictures of your wiring jobs for the gauges . Thx.

Let me instruct you on how I wired mine. I used 1 Toggle Switch and about 7ft of wire.

I ran a wire through the firewall from the battery to my center console, where I hooked up a toggle switch where the little 1x2 coin tray was. (power economy switch) if you have an auto trans. Anyways power to the toggle now run the red wire for the glow gauges to the toggle. ground the black wire to a bolt on the ground and boom your set. Now you can turn the gauges off and on at your will, and the dimmer that comes with it was mounted beside my knee. If you'd like I can post some pics monday

Ya I would really appreciate the pics. I mounted the toggle switch that came with the gauges right next to my cd player on the side of the dash. Its in a really good spot where its in good accsess. Also im looking into making some custom LED Needles. Right now its weired just seeing my gauges lite up all blue and my dash lights arnt on. But it doesnt bother me that much. Just not being able to see the needles behind the blue. How bright do you keep yours? Mine is like 3-4 little notches less than all the way up (MAXIMUM) on the blue setting. I dont like the green.

Just use the dimmer that came with the indiglos, set it to where you want it then tuck in over on the left side of the insrument cluster. You can also tap the + and - wires into the power wires going into the fog light or whatever switches left of the instrument cluster.
