Hey guys I'm installing ext temp Gage and I need help with wiring. Gage is in steering cover pod, I grounded black wire, plugged red in fuse box bellow, there also orange wire that goes to vehicle elimination to dim at night, which color code is it?
 
update, its a glow shift gauge, actually it doesn't look to bad, I'm thinking of swapping my boost and oil pressure pro comp gauges for shift glow. I got exhaust temp gauge hooked up running, the only thing is that it is a tinted gauge so it stays lit during the day so you can see it, and it has a orange wire that should hook up to lights or any dimmer wire so at night when you turn on lights gauge would dim as well and not blind the driver. I tried some orange wire I found under the dash, didn't work, then I hooked it up to black with yellow stripe, no result... what the hell can I hook it up to so it would dim? It has 5 wires total, two go to the probe sensor, black I got hooked up to the ground, red I stuffed with the 10amp fuse in empty slot in under dash fuse box, so as soon as I turn the key in first position the gauge turns on, then one more turn and everything else turns on and then crank..... maybe I manage to #### up something even that simple???
 
wire it to the headlights, when you turn the headlights on, it dims, that's the purpose of the dimmer.
