RE: Rheostat wire color for Gauge Pods
You mean you want to wire them into the headlight switch? That would be either the kinda big thick grey wire or big thick brown wire(it was brown on mine) I wired my El Gauges into the headlight switch a few weeks back.

Ok bro focus on the top one. The right side dont have anything to do with it. So in the left picture(pic of directly behind your headlight ****) your gonna have to tap into the brown wire. I did that myself to install my UPR El Glow gauges. When you pull the headlights, the guages will come on.

I used a little wire splicer tapper thing haha I dont know what they are called but you put both wires in parallel to eachother and then you clamp down and it runs a post between the two which makes them work simultaneously.

That wiring just gets them turned on when you pull the headlight **** which also turns on the rest of the lights in the car. What kind of gauges are they, electroluminescnet I presume?
