Help ASAP switching to reverse Gauges!!- FINISHED!! PICS ADDED!!

[dpanda88]

OK I've done everything but the wiring part which is confusing... what do I do?? It says from DIY

Next run the wires from your location to the area where the gauges are installed. Note the bolt in the bottom center, it makes a very nice clean grounding point. This is a good point to get your 12v power source also. I used the green wire on the very right of the brown connector. It has a continuous 12v when the lights are on ONLY. The fuse box is nearby as well you may use that.

I see i have green and a black wire what am i suppose to do with those 2??

PLease HELP!

[dpanda88]

where do i connect the wires? theres a black one and then theres a red/green wire?

[xet]

take the ground wire and run it to the bolt in the middle i wrapped mine around the bolt as best i could and screwed it down as tightly as possible.

take the power wire and cut the green wire on the brown connector and splice the 2 pieces of that wire and the power wire for the gauges together. Some people like to use a T tap or w/e its called to be safe but I just put all 3 together and taped around it

[dpanda88]

ok so i get the black wire now .. as for the green.. when you say 2 pieces? is that the wire from the guages wires to the car wires?

I only have 2 wires.. the black and the green which is to plug into somewhere beside the grounder

[xet]

Ok for the power wire for the reverse gauges which you want to connect to the constant 12v source.
First you locate the green wire on the brown connector at the end and you have to cut it in half. Then you have to strip back the wire on your power wire for the gauges, as well as the 2 pieces that you have from cutting the 12v source wire in half. Now you put them all together and twist them so they stay and then put electrical tape or something like it around them.

Then you just attach the ground wire to the screw in the back and when you turn on your headlights it should all turn on.

YES ITS DONE!! I just did all the wiring and it turns on great and everything else! Going to take a pic right now

I've said that for years

Why do a complete interior for like 2 grand when you can get the same effect with 5% limo tint

Wow, I really like those and the TRD in the middle is cool. Look way better then my reverse gauges.

[built2burn]

how well can you see the needles b/c it looks like you can barely see them

[dpanda88]

yeah I was about to ask everyone how can i fix this problem. The gauges light up perfectly but now at night time the KM of how much I have went doesnt light up and my needles doesnt light up either. Even though its not a BIG problem to me but I would prefer it to light up. Anyone have suggestions? All i did was cut the green wire on from the brown connector and put together does wires with the wire from the gauges all together and grounded the black wire to the bolt thats inside the dash.

i don't tend to like reverse glow gauges cuz in day it's white and look ugly but at night all the show start when the colors come to live.but anyways the trd logo look very clean.
