Default Wiring Gauge Cluster

How do you wire indiglow gauges onto your gauge cluster conncectors? Are you supposed to stripped back the blk/red wire and tap it onto that? Also I may have it done right but I bet I dont, can you see the blueish glow during the day time or is it too bright out?

i used the back of the gauge cluster...wired it to a hot area and grounded the other to a screw on the back of the cluster...if you have one of those electricity needles that tell you were theres a hot line it makes it easy...mine only took about 30 minutes to install when i shop tried to charge me 90 bucks and told me it was diffcult. hope you have luck

oh yeah i did try taping into the rd/blk wire on the main cluster wire....but i ended up cuttin the thing in half and i had to do a whole lot of **** to get that back together, so i think the easiest way is to use the back of the cluster.

What do you mean by hot area? Do you mean those circuit lines on the back of the cluster or on the 3 big connectors that go into the cluster? Also when you installed the face plates did you take off the OEM faceplate and then replace with the white or did you put the white ones over the oem?

you have to put them over the OEM ones... well that how mine were anyway cause without it you dont have the turn signals or highbeams you'll just have an empty oval...and by hot area i found which circuits on the back were hot that ran to a gauge bulb...and screwed it down with that. And grounded the other wire. I think i did it a diffcult way...but it worked adn they look really good so...lol i dunno

Does anyone know what wire to splice into? If it is the black/red one I have noticed that there is 2 of them, 1 on two of the three connectors that plug into the cluster
