read down in the messages and he said how he hooked it up.

I wired up the wires to the wiring harness on the stock fog light switch. Red to Red/Yellow, Ground to Ground.-James92SE
good luck, thats all I know to tell you since I didn't hook them up maybe pm James92se or something.

I, to, Bought my Indiglo Gauges from CustomMaxima.com. I seriously recommend that site to all Maxima owners.

Now on the Indiglos, Mine are installed. Your best bet is to pay someone to prefesionally do them. because if you mess anything up, (Ecspecially the Needles or break them on the guages)your pretty much screwed.

Just my advice

But then again, They will charge an arm and a leg to install them. They charged me 75$. And thats how much the Indiglos were.

Dude, just wire them up into any of the harnesses in there.

You saw in my post that I wired up the Red indiglo wire to the Red/Yellow wire on the fog light harness. And then I wired up Black to Black.
Look at your harness for your clock, or your defogger switch, or any of those harnesses around the steering wheel. Find a red/yellow wire, splice into that, and then find a ground wire (black) and splice into that. I know the defogger and clock both have these wires. So I'd suggest trying those.

There is no need for relay's or anything like that...

for anyone with indiglos, does your dimmer that came w/ them work? mine works sometimes, but most of the time it acts like its turned up all the way, even though i have the switch all the way down. i'm thinking it's just the switch, because i wired it up lots of different ways, but it still does it.

Nope my dimmer works fine. Although, when I have it on blue....it makes this weird faint buzzing sound and drives me insane. The green doesnt do it though!

mine does that little humming sound, but i can't hear it, unless the engine and radio are off.

If i turn them all the way up my indiglos will make that noise but if the engine or radio is on i can't hear it either. I didn't wire mine into the parklights, i wish i would have known how when i hooked them up. I just mounted the switches beside the hood release.

I hooked mine up to the light that is around the cigarette lighter. That way the indiglos come on when I turn my lights on.
