Add on to them?

The only thing you are doing wrong is not using the DIY dsm mentality. You will have to lengthen the wires to which ever location you plan to run them. You can't expect a company to make a gauge with wiring specific to any certain vehicle.

Didnt you see my wires? Theyre all green i extended em.

Ok heres what you do..
Go to the store and buy wire, its like 5 bucks for a roll or something..
also buy some heat shrink tube
Try to match the sizing i think mine was 16

Strip the two ends of wire put the heat shrink on, twist the wires together, and burn the tubing.

which color wire goes to each fuse? i have the tinted series and need to have them on all the time, even when my headlights are off?

Thank you

The bottom of the dash is easy to take off. Save yourself some headaches and do it right. DO NOT TAP in to your fusebox. Your ingition wire is under the dash. Your parking light wire is green and goes to the dimmer switch. You can hook a relay up,(fused) to your parking lights and power all the guages from the relay. You can do the same off your ignition wire. Also you want to ground all your wires in the same spot, but not attached to any other factory ground source. Also lable your wires so you can identify them if need be. No need to have a spider web of wires under your dash. The pillar your reffering to is the "a" pillar. Also what you can do for a cleaner look on the a pillar, is bondo the two pieces together, sand, and then paint.

I don't have mine hooked up to my headlights, mine were on all the time aswell, thats why i put the two killswitches in.

Mine are wired.

Yellow Wire= 12v Constant (Alarm fuse)

Purple and Orange= Ignition Switched Source(Cigarette Lighter)

Black Wire= Ground

If you need them on when the car is running you can run your illumination wire from your guages to the ignition wire. No need to have it hooked up to a toggle switch. Your making it way more difficult then it has to be.

Your ignition wire should be a 12-10 guage black w/ white wire coming from your ignition switch going down the streering column.

True, When i installed mine i didnt want them on the ignition wire, I decided later, so I put a toggle switch, but yeah definitely do it right the first time!
