Need pics of Indiglo gauge install...



I realize that I may have missed this, but does anyone have a how-to on the installation of Indiglo gauges? I just ordered some (on sale for $44.95 shipped from Southwestautoworks.com) and wondered how vehicle-specific the instructions would be. I trust members of this site more than the gauge manufacturer and appreciate any assistance anyone can provide.

All i know is follow the write-up on the Chrome ring install to take em apart and wire the indiglos up to the dimmer switch.

heh, you cant avoid touching the needles because you have to put them through the tiny holes in the new guages, but make sure that once you install the new guages, thet they are flush with the old ones, oterwise your needles will not move.

good luck!!

okay, there's a local Max meet on the 28th, so I believe I'll wait until then to attempt this one. I actually want to try on my own, but as I said before, there are NO instructions whatsoever. It's all one piece with a transformer/dimmer and like 7 wires coming out. I have no idea what goes where and don't feel like not having my odo or temp gauge work while I decipher the wiring scheme. This is extremely frustrating.
