Indiglo Gauge Face -Install Questions

I know how to install the gauges and everything but there are two wires that I don't know what to do with them. I think they are the power wire, one is black and the other one is red. So where do i hook up the power line to? The dimmer switch? Thanks!

black should be ground, and the red you hook up to the power wire of the dimmer control.

It should be the farthest wire to your right on the dimmer switch..

They don't light up, cause i had to take out the bulb in the back to run the wires.

you dont have to take them all out... but i desided to drill 2 holes in the top of the cluster and feed the wires threw there.... just make sure you dont drill threw anything bad.. just drill threw the white plastic only
