Does anyone know how I am supposed to wire up these aftermarket guages?
They are the ones you slip over the needles in the cluster and they come with their own knob for changing the color and brightness, but I'm a little confused on how I'm supposed to hook them up. Picture for refference:  I know the guages themselves will plug into the 3 (there's actually 4) in the middle. But I don't know about A) the 4th middle one and B) the wires on the far right. Can you guys help me figure this out? -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

Isn't that one on when you open the door, but off when the car is on?

^^ So clock is probably the best bet here then?... I hope the dimmer doesn't have to be ALL the away to the right, I want to have the blue lights one

Yeah, your right, I didn't think about that part. edit: New problem, the RPM gauge and speedo are sticking and obviously I'm not getting an accurate reading. Would it be b/c the OEM pieces are undernieth? I didn't see how to get them off when I put the new ones on, so I left them.
