Has anyone ever installed these gauges: http://www.americanmuscle.com/fomugt96sire.html ? I have done many electrical installs before but for some reason these gauges are giving me so much trouble. Can anyone at least tell me wut color the wire is in the headlight switch module that i need to splice into for power? I have tried 4 different wires and nothing is giving me any power. I thought these gauges would be a piece of cake but its turning into some long *** project. HELP!

 

try a grey one with blue stripe that wire was connected to my headlight ****, i just spliced it in, and you gotta find a ground.. if u have the tools to sauder, there should be a metal pipe about 10 inches behind the dash, that worked for me just like in the instructions at americanmuscle.com

 

My power wire was the grayish-brown thick wire in the middle of all of them. And for my ground there should be a bolt holding the dash to the big metal pipe. Undo that bolt and slip the ground in there and bolt it to the pipe. Worked for me.

 

for mine it was the big brown one in the middle, as you can see in this picture i went into the grey one like a howto said and it wasnt right. then we went into the big brown one in the middle and it worked.

 

Is it hard to get the headlight **** out? in my instructions for the gauges i bought, it says that was the hardest part, i may try the install this weekend

 

No its not hard getting the headlight **** off at all, is the headlight switch power wire still the blue with red stripe even for a 94-98?

 

it was kinda for me, what we ended up using was a paint can opener and filed it down and it worked like a charm.

 

You might want to do your research on what color your power wire is before you go splicing or at least make sure you talk to saomeone with the same model mustang.
It seems like here each year of mustang is a different color wire.

 

Too bad your having all that trouble for some ricer looking guages. My boy has them and hates'em!

 

Ricer looking or not, i like them, but what color wire did ur boy splice into if he has a 94-98 stang? was it the blue with red stripe?
