Default RE: guage wiring

i just did my gauges two nights ago and i know what a pain that was. each gauge had five wires. i used the circuit for the heater blower for my ignition source because it is protected by a breaker not a fuse. theres a piece you can buy that helps you tap into the wire. on the lights i used the dimmer switch so the gauge lights would dim with the dash lights, you need a meter to check which wire does that. since it's one wire going to the three gauges i used a heavy gauge wire and soldered it to the three gauge wires, did that with the the grounds too.

use things that look like this to connect all of your grounds. Then with your last ground wire get a connection that looks like this. connect to a screw somewhere in your body. For the lights i used the same pieces to connect all the light wires together. Once I had them all togetherI ran the wire to my headlight switch and again used one of those pieces to the correct wire. I believe it was the light blue one with a red tracer.Some peope will say not to because the furthest light away will be dim. However that is how mine are and you can't tell a difference when they are at full brightness.
