Gauge install wiring issue

[MR2NER]

I'm almost done installing my white face gauges but I don't know which red and black run to the headlights. The search feature is down right now and I can't find any articles. Any tips?

I guess that I'm lame, but what do gauges have to do with headlights?

i think its that the gauge cluster is kooked sumhow to the headlights for ine interior lights, so when u turn on ur headlights the int lights go on, i dunno, juss my guess

dude, you talking about the illumination? just use your illumination wire from your stereo....if your stereo is still stock, use a multimeter and find out what one gives you +12v when you turn on the lights....that or else use one of the ILL screws on the back of the gauge cluster....not too dificult but need a little electrical experience.

black will go to ground, red is your hot wire to a ILL source.

if you want to make super clean, follow the wires to the firewall and tap into one there. personally i like to use the radio harness, easy acess both in and out installation.

I fixed it yesterday. The grounds were messed up. Sorry for having a short fuse. The gauges look great.
