the red goes to your left nipple and the black to your right. if you flex hard enough they'll flash!! zinky zinky zinky i think they would install better in the trash though!

Do you know what brand they are? If you do, check with the manufacturer, they should be able to email or fax you install info

Well the black is most likely a ground a red is most likely the 12v source. Since the gauges should be lit when the parking lights are on tap into the paring light wire.

yeah black should be ground, so connect somewhere on your chassis, and red should be power.

Stick the red wire in the parking light fuse and wrap the black wire around a screw that blots to the chassie and screw it down secure.

You dont even need to run the wire to the fuse box. Get out a test probe turn, the parking lights on and probe the harnesses going into the cluster. Once you find a 12v positive just tap into that biatch. Its a lot faster than running the wire and probablly extending it to the fuse box.

ground the black wire... take off ur gauge cluster, twist one of the cluster bulbs off, let the red wire hang in the hole and twist the bulb back in.... test it and put everything back together... l8rz
