Sweet. Make sure to get some good pics man! :thumbsup:

how did you hide the gauge wires? I havent took it apart yet but I like to know how to do it before I do it.

[mdodge]

They just run behind the the gauge cluster and behind the the dash. You won't have any trouble hiding the wires. The wires are fairly long so you can mount the control unit alot of places. I put mine in the ash tray below the fog light switch just because it's easy to access and easy to install there.

I cant seem to get the top plastic piece of so I can put in the Carbon fiber bezel it looks to be seeled down. How did you get it off?

[mdodge]

I'm not sure if this is what you mean but, you don't take off the clear plastic piece. Just the whole top piece that comes off by pushing the tabs. You then feed the carbon fiber bezel through the gauge holes. Don't worry it bends easily without breaking. Kinda tricky to get it all pushed down but just work with it and you'll get it.

Where did you run the power and ground?

[Vtolds]

I power and grounded striat fromt the power and ground for the ash tray light it seemed to be the most obvious place to do it. My head light started to flicker a while back probably when I put in my amp but i disconnected it and it seems to do it still.

Your Dash lights are different than mine I was looking back at your pics and your needles are orange and mine are white and my gauges light up a aqua color and not a blue and when I switch my switch to the off position it lights up green and when it is lit up green the switch doesn't hum. it is kinda wierd.

[mdodge]

Actually I have the intelliglow needles, they are actually red in person. My gauges are also aqua in person...just hard to tell from pics. The switch has a button that changes the color from blue to green..(really just blue/green). Then there is the brightness nob. I would try running your power to the fuses, the wires should reach okay. Although this will cause the gauges to light up all the time but, I do it that way and it works good. And make sure your grounding is good, a good bolt nearby will do.

is thhere any way to get them to work with your factory dimmer? i once had my dash lights die so i put in a neon lighting them up that was gheto fab.

[Vtolds]

The speedhut gauges light up all by them selves they dont use the factory dimer switch. I got Day pics up of my gauges on My website check them out.

Looks good. Good job. :thumbsup:
