looking for indiglo gauges

[Kenny]

LittleBeast thanks for link and info.
Kenny also thanks for link and info. Im going to try do it. Im never did that before but im gonan try will sew what happends...
Kenny can you tell me how hard is to install all that? and question if ill do everything right can i make it a lit bit dimmer so it not really bright at night?

Install is quite easy. If you're able to take the dash bezel off and unplug the switches, then you have the skill to take out the speedo cluster. There are about 5 plugins behind the cluster you have to get off - be patient. There is a yellow plug behind the TOD display that you have to flick a side latch to be able to pull it out. Leave it for last and you should be able to pull the cluster out enough to see what you're doing. Pull off the clear cover CAREFULLY by popping the tabs. If you're going basic gauge covers, just slide the covers over the needles and line up into place. I drilled and grommeted two holes in the cluster sides to pass the indiglo wires through. I wired the power and ground for the indiglo to the "IGNITION" and "GROUND" screws at the back of the cluster for power. The gauges come with a little push button to turn on the indiglo, but I plan to wire this switch into the cluster bulb power so they turn on when I turn on the cluster lights.

You might be able to put a variable resistor on the power side to dim the indiglo. Or try to wire the power to the cluster bulbs and see if dimming them will dim the indiglo... Personally, I like the big blue glow.

Just PM me if you need some specific help. You can also upload a photo and I could mark it up to show any info you're looking for...

Good Luck!

Kenny, if you just try wiring around that on/off switch it will not work I have tried and others have tried and I called the company it is not possible without purchasing a seperate box (which has a knob on it unlike the power box that comes with the kit originally now earlier kits came with this upgraded box but no more) that makes it possible to dim them and change to a green color. Box is around $10 if I am remembering, it was a while ago. But if you just wire up the power wire (red wire going to black box) to the Green Wire with the red stripe (illumination wire) then you will get a lot of dimming ability, but if you dim too low the gauge will cut off and you will have to push the on/off button again.
djkymar this is really easy to do as long as you don't mind remembering that you are looking at temp instead of oil above the gas, no cutting easy! But REMEMBER TO LEAVE original face plates behind all gauges or you will get a lot of shining around the edges you do not want.... Hope that helps. Dimming is very easily attained though, just wire up to the Green w/red stripe.
In Christ,

Everything fine but i thought they turn on when i flip regular switch for headligths but it has their own switch and i dont really like that i have a lot switchers already =) i dont really mind extra switch, i gonna think about it. Are you sure there is no way to try connect switch to the regular fliop switch?

Yes you can do that it is easy to do, but the basic kit is not going to come with the black box with the knob that enables you to direct hook it up, but last time I checked you could still order that item seperately to do this... just one more thing to buy..
