Need help installing Glo Gages

I'm installing them in my sister's 2000 Cavalier. There's a red wire that goes to the parking lights. There's a red/black wire on an O-ring. Directions say nothing as far as where to hook it. Anyone know where? Is that one an extra wire in case your hooking them to a toggle switch?

No instructions what-so-ever? Companies are getting lazy these days...

You should be able to splice into the exisiting instrument panel wiring.

If you want the gauge to come on with the lights, install / connect according to instructions.

For a toggle switch, you'll may need to read up on electrical hook-ups.

I would say that using the existing system with the gauge on with headlight is the best way.

Red = your positive lead

Black / Red = that's a new one... umm... :?:

What other color wires are with the gauges?

hey redfox: if it has an o-ring connector that generaly mean ground?

i have allway run into those but they where on black wires not red/black

 

That's a good assumption. Perhaps...

Altough I've got to believe with the red stripe, it's something more.

But that's for an Electrical Engineer...

If you've got a multi-meter you could find out real quick what it is.

I got them working. The o-ring wire was the ground. The gages are by Otto Racing. You can change them from Blue to Green and they do have a dimmer switch. My sister liked them better then SppedHut's because there isn't the big ring of glowing color by the needles. They look pretty nice in her car. I wish I could find some that are for my car, but all the Grand Prix ones are for 94+. Mine's a 93 with the sports cluster, and they don't even sell the benzel plates for my gages. :(
