I installed a set of indiglo gauges over the weekend. Everything works like it's supposed to. I hooked up the (+) from the indiglos to the cigarett lighter (+). The problem is that the gauges are on all the time.

Does anyone know of a wire that only gets power when the clear corners are turn on? If you can provide me with the color and location of that wire, I would greatly apprecitated.

Thanks, Jason.

 

dude u have to hook them up to the cig lighter light there is a little bulb in the cig lighter ring that turns on with the rest of the lights. there should be 4 wires cig lighter +,- and cig lighter light+,-

 

I looked for that bulb, but I didn't find it. I think my cig. lighter does not have it. My car is a 1989, so i'm thinking that year it was not offer

 

Jason..its me Addae(who sold you the gauges)...I'll get a picture of where the wire is later today and email it to you, I'm pretty sure ALL thrid gens have that wire! and sorry I didn't get back to your email, glad you liek the gauges.

 

My '90 didn't have the cigarette light, but my '92 does. The '90 had a light above the stereo instead.. Maybe yours has this? If not, there are plenty of other sources for +12V when lights are on. Possibly the ashtray?

 

what up, how is it going? Thanks for taking the time to package so neatly; gauges look awsome, especially at night. I got them on Saturday and install them the same day

Thanks againg, Jason.

 

Hmm.... my car has both, as does every 3rd gen I've seen so far (at least that I've noticed). There should be a little ring around the cigarette lighter that lights up when the lights are turned on. My car is an 89 SE and has it. IF not, then just wire it up to ANY light that only comes on when the parking/head lights are turned on. That should work fine.

 

there is a red wire with yellow stripe on it that goes in to ALL the switches in the dash that light up. Easiest place to get it is at the defrost, fog, dimmer, or cruise switches in that panel right around the steering wheel
