I have decided to go ahead and install my pro car part reverse glow gauges myself instead of paying 65 for my shop to do it,

im gonna go by the how-to but i need help with something that he didnt explain very well

my gauges have wires that attach from the top of the guage to the power supply and it has a dimmer switch

first of all where to i place the power supply, to i run the wires behind the gauge and down through the dash to the inner fuse box or do they run out of the bottom and to the side?

im kinda confused on this, where did u all place urs?

secondly where and how did u mount ur knob?

can i just replace the guages with out using that dimmer?? Just pop them in and use the stock guage lights and dimmer.

Unfortunately not. The Indiglo gauges need a constant 12 volt power source running to them. If you tap the hot wire to the stock dimmer, when you "dim" it, it puts out less voltage and could damage the gauges. What I did is ran the constant power wire to the fuse for my tail lights so they would some on with them. Works great for me! biggrin.gif Hope this helps!!!
