how to install reverse glow gauges

I've found a webpage that had the whole process, but had lost the link, and cant find it anymore! Does anyone know where i can get instructions on how to install the glow gauges? I think the site i've found had the word "nation" or "Racing" in there with solaras......but cant find them in the google search. So if anyone know where i can get instructions please let me know thx!

They mention in there to wire the power to a FUSE...this is really not the best way to do it. If you can be bothered it is far better to wire a piggyback plug to the ILLUMINATION wire for the guage cluster. I believe it to be a GREEN wire. Its a more permanant solution but gives a lasting result.

Illumination wire? Won't that be affected if you dim your regular lights?

installation is easy...it should take you a little over an hour...the DIY for the initial K gauges gives great directions

Oh...Sorry for the slowness of the brain, but words of advice.

Lay down enough glue to keep it down flat as they can curl over time/heat. It's a pain to fix then. Also, once they are on, do not peel back or they will retain that curve and that really sucks when you have that console open for the 8th time because your speedo is stuck some other place.

Replace screws that strip with slightly larger screws, lay those little thin foam pads wherever you have hard plastic meet hardplastic, save you more headaches when you are trying to troubleshoot rattles. Also secure anything loose. I went to firmer suspension after and do I have my hands full.
