Halo Gauge HELP!

[MYSHO1]

I have it all set up for for those of you who have them where did u run the power wires? is there any way to set them up to the stock dimmer?

Connect it to the red and blue wire in the fog lamp switch.

I agree with the red and blue wire. Although to slightly clarify its not a red wire and a blue wire its a single wire that in my 93 is blue with a red stripe. I used this as the power wire and then also used the black wire for the ground. Mine work like a charm. I dont have the halos, ive got the full white face guages. Once you get them you will never want to go back to the original guages.

I want that so much... I've seen them on eBay. My only thing is, installing it... I hear it's kind of difficult. How bad is it... I LOVE THAT LOOK!

Its not THAT hard, only problem i had was the finding the wire but, the guys on here took care of that!, other than that its not to hard at all. Just takes some time!

Sounds good... I have a friend that is good with car electronics. I could always get him to help if need be. The only thing I can sucessfully do to my car is pull out the altenator and change fluids. *Shurg*

Yea

They are super easy to hook up. Fog light switch is the best for power. Just have some tape handy to tape the tops to your old gauges. Also take a colored permenent marker and color the sides of the needles. Do not color the tops or bottoms. This will give you kick *** colored needles. Mine are red. The whole operation should take less than 1 hour.

The hardest part is getting the damn dash off. I taken my dash apart so many times now, I could do it asleep.

I ran my grounding wire all the way down to the grounding point to the right of the gas pedal.

Im having problems with my tach-o-meter sticking. I even removed the old gauge(i figured out how to get it off without removing the needle!! )

But yea, I dont understand why its sticking, it only stick after 5500 rpms. For the first time im glad i have a slushbox. This means im gonna disassemble the dash once again to fix this.

Another thing: Does anyone have any solutions to stop the white light coming out behind the gauges. You can see it in the picture with this post.
