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"

Run the power wire to the auxillary (ACC) wire of your stereo (should be an orange wire). That way it's no where near associated to your dimmer switch, which apparently can cause bad things with these.
The other wire is the ground. I have the same gauge face. --------------------  |
