HELP!! ON Gauge Install!!

I just got my reverse indiglow white face gauges for my 86/na and i have no clue were to put the wires from the gauges. Each slip on gauge has a wire with a plug on it, maybe leading 2 some power source i dont know.

I went on fc3s.org but his advice on gauge install was for 89-91 only.

I really need some help im in the car now and want to install them today

If you look at the cluster plugs you will see a white and black plug. # 7 on the white plug should be illumination power and #1 on the white plug is a ground. the wires are labeled on the back of the plug. Just spice the overlays into these wires and your good to go. If you have any more questions just PM or e-mail me. How much was the overlays?

what your saying is run them off my dimmer, thats wrong...but i have a new problem. The each gauge has a wire connected to it like every other overlay out there.

Heres my problem, were the wire meets with the gauge there is a big rubber connecter there, which prevents me from putting my clear cover for the gauges on properly.

Bascilly it wont close all the way, the clear thing, (that has the circles built in it) so it pops up.

Any ideas, i dont have any but drillen some holes through the very very top of the gauge bezel to fit these suckas in.

I never said the dimmer. The power wire that is live when you turn your parking lights on. When you dim your cluster of course they will dim also..
