white reverse gauge installation

[Dawgz]

I saw these on the forum (pics) and looked on ebay, they are pretty cheap to buy.

Are they easy to install? what problems have you guys run into when installing these? whats the procedure?

theyve gone waaay down. i think ive seen them cheaper than that a few days ago on ebay. ive heard a lot of ppl messing up their gauges when they install it

you'll have to turn em on with a switch, or maybe wire it so that it turns on when your parking/headlights are on.. I think it's a simple 2 or 3 wire hookup.

there is a tutorial in here somewhere but wont bother searching since the search function is still messed up.

they just slip over your existing gauges. but be careful. DONT MESS with the needles otherwise your SOL.

good luck..

well i bookmarked the thread a long time ago when i did mine.. it was easy..jus be very careful..and if you get them from Procarparts.com as suggested in the tutorial, you dont have to turn them on each time ..there is a switch, but u can switch it on and it always comes on..where as the ebay ones have ths button thing that you need to press each time

well here is the link if you are goin to do this

hey i actually installed these a couple weeks ago......it possibly the easiest thing i have ever done.......as far as wiring just take your ground and of course wire it to any screw that will work and for the power wire i just hooked it up to my taillight fuse so it lights up when i turn on my headlights just like my old gauges did.......need more help just pm aight?

The reverse glow gauges are not that not to install they are over-lay gauges.
I got mine from Ebay, i re-wired them to only light up blue, cause it came wit the option of blue or green, and i only liked blue on the gauges so that is how i wired them up.
For the dimmer i cut the dimmer out, and plugged the dimmer wire into one of the plugs behind the gauge cluster, i think i blew out like 2 fuses figurein' out which wire to plug it wit.

Mine came with a dimmer too but instead of cutting it i just left it on full blast and hid the dimmer behind the fuses..........
