Their website has wiring diagrams for each and every gauge.

You need to be more specific with your question. What are you actually having trouble with?

 

[red talon]

[xXEclipse]

[red talon]

Ok, I did the single gauge pod install, what exactly do you need help with?

 

[red talon]

like getting the piller mounted. to me it looks like in order to mount it i have to go all the way to the back were there are some trim covers. that need to be taken off but i dont know how, with out breaking anything. then i need to know what wires i need to hook up so that the gauges are operational

 

[xXEclipse]

Do you have the gauges yet? The intstructions that come with the gauges are very detailed.. For my single pod I had to take off the stock pillar, drill a hole in it for the wires. screw on the pod. Then I ran the wires through the side of the dash down to my fuse box and tied em into my fuse box, easy as that.

The wiring also depends on when you want the gauges to light. I personally like to tap the dimmer switch or fog light switch to wire mine. That way they light up when I turn the headlights on. Get a test light (very cheap) and you can easily find power wires.

 

[red talon]

ok thank you for all the help

 

[xXEclipse]

Let us know if you have any more questions

 

[red talon]

The red wire in the last pic is the ground for my turbo timer

 

[red talon]

ok how are you able to ground it to the car dont you need a power source?

 

[Xeiros]

ok how are you able to ground it to the car dont you need a power source?

You already have one in the +12v wire (usually red). The black wire can be connected to an already provided ground wire, or you run it to a screw/bolt somewhere on the frame, as that's where all the ground wires on the car eventually go to.

 

[xXEclipse]

ground isnt for power, its ground, usually on a screw or bolt, the 12v power is a seperate wire

ok thank you

 

[95gsttsi]

what series did you get? and if you have the triple pillar pod take your stock one off it just pops off. then screw the new one in. but before you do mount your gauges run your wires into the dash mount it then worry about what goes where

i have mine wired to the cruise switch so i can turn the lights off on them if they bother me at night. i had those gauges they are so easy to wire up. I just daisy chained my power and ground from the 3 then ran the power to fuse box and ground to a bolt. Btw i had autometer pro comp now hence how i can turn off the lights and the gauge will still function.

I have Killswitches on my gauge. 1 Killswitch for Backlight and 1 for Needle... I can make cool color combos with this aswell as turn them off whenever I need.
