Anyone installed Indiglo gauges from Ebay?

Hi, I am almost done installing them but now I need to connect the electrical stuff.
Can anyone tell me where the red and black wires go?

I'm gonna try and make a diagram:

./_/_/_/___/_/_/_/
/_/_/_/_/._/_/_/_/

Thanks!

I hooked mine up to the radio remote positive, so when I turn off the oignition in my car, the indiglos shut off by themselves

if you have a test light, hook it up to a good ground and star testing your wires, anything that lights up with the ignition on should work.

Then if you want them to come on when the ignition is on, hook the red one to the Black/yellow at the back of the cluster or Black/white at the ignition switch.

If you want them to come on with the lights, hook the red wire to the red/black wire found at the radio, or light switch, or CPU in the drivers kick panel, or the glove box light,

The black wire should go to one of the solid black (or black with dots) wires coming from the cluster.

The factory dimmer wires are Red/green. That should not be used for a indiglow type gauge cover!!!

Here are the ones I got
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1853317311

I put the red one in the red/black from the cluster and the black on black. Now it's on all the time. Oh well, It has a dimmer switch so that I can turn it off.

Man that S-AFC is gonna be a nightmare to install!

Thanks a lot!!

you can't get that red/black from the cluster, as I said on my post
If you want them to come on with the lights, hook the red wire to the red/black wire found at the radio, or light switch, or CPU in the drivers kick panel, or the glove box light,
There is no red/black at the cluster. Only a red/white (which is the feed from the high beam relay or the oil level sensor depending on what plug), and the above mentioned red/green that you should not use unless you want your indiglow gauges to burn out with too little voltage.
