Hey I finally got around to installing my indiglo gauges. I read the description, pretty straight-forward. I just got stuck at the wiring part. The red and black power wires from the indiglo gauges should be connected to the green white and black white wires on the dimmer socket switch right? I did this and none of my gauges lighted up, course i didnt sauder the connection so it couldve been lose. Just wanna see if im doing it right.
Also I got this weird looking ribben with colored dotted pad at the end connected to the same black box that the red and black wires are connected to. Anyone know what i do with this? |

i dont think ur supposed to connect it to the dimmer socket because it needs a straight current. I connected it to the interior fuse box labeled for the existing gauges, that way it turned on only when the rest of the panel lights turned on. Also the ribbon with the dots...that the control for the gauges. the blue is to make the indiglo blue, the green is to make it green, and the other two are to dim them or make them brighter. I think the black box is a transformer for the indiglo guages, it should be making some buzzing when its connected, lol.
