indiglo gauges

**Nyr0283** · 03-20-2003, 03:07 PM

I was just wondering how hard it would be to install the reverse indiglo gauges on my 95? I was looking at them on ebay and it said that proffesionnal installation is highly recommended... I also read some previous posts and it says to connect the wires to the dimmer switch but my dimmer switch isnt working, would it stilll work if i connected the gauges to it?

The install is easy if you are comfortable messing with your gauge cluster. You can use this tutorial as a guide if you choose to do it yourself: EL Gauges Install
That install is nearly identical to the 7g, the small diferences you should be able to figure out on your own.

I would test that dimmer switch to see if you can find the problem because it could be as simple as the harness not being in all the way. But never-the-less you can still wire the gauges to you actual headlight switch via the steering wheel column.

Do not connect your indiglos to your dimmer. It can damage them since the unit won't receive full power. I ran mine off the parking lights instead.

You didn't connect them to the GREEN wire? That wire has constant power to the switch, the black return wire is the one that is actually dimmed by the switch.

NYCtrini or anyone else who has installed these before:
Is there any other way to hold the new gauges down so that the needles dont get stuck other than crazy glue? thanks

Galant Ryder · 03-30-2003, 02:29 PM

you can try a glue gun. it wont be as permenant as the crazy glue. or you can try some GUM!!!

Strong double sided tape, but even that would fuck up ur oem, Krazy glue is the easier way to go and it can be removed with a heat gun
