Default Indiglo Gage color question

I just installed a reverse indiglo gauge set in my Prelude. I set the color (deep blue) and shade to where I want it, but after I turn off the car, the light 'resets' to green. And I have to go through the process all over again every time I get in the car at night!!
Is there a way to keep this from happening?
Currently the indiglo turns on when I start the car, not when I turn on the headlights. I'm going to try changing the positive lead to a different terminal, but I don't see how that will help.
Any suggestions?

sounds like your positive lead is hooked up wrong......mine is tapped into the parking light fuse in the fuse box.....i'm not sure how you change colors on your gauges but mine is a toggle switch from blue to green.....if yours isn't a manual switch and its more like a push button switch, it needs a 12V memory wire to remember your settings(like the wire that car stereos have to keep all your settings in memory when you turn it off).....if all your guages have is 2 wires, a positive and a ground, then your probably going to have to go through the process every time....if there is a 3rd wire, thats probably the memory wire, and you should tap it into your car stereo memory wire
