There should be some wires plugged into your factory gauge pannel. Take them off and hook them up to your new one.

Or just find any red (+) wire (make sure you test it first), and then just ground to the chasis. Even quicker, wire to cig lighter.

Anytime the car/electrical is on, the gauges will turn on.

I've got mine wired to the light control switch. So if you turn on the lights, it turns on the gauegs. People also wire it to the dimmer switch. So it;s only on when the lights are on, and adjustable then too

Re: Wiring Glow Gauges NEED HELP

Good job. You can add those to the cig too. It takes alot to overload the fuse. I got all my inside neons hooked up to it, and used to have my underbodies too, until I decided to rewire the whole car. Took some load off. Still have my pillar pod hooked up with the inside lights up. Dont worry about overloading it.
