So which wire goes where? We have 3 wires to the Dimmer (Black-Red-and Red/Black) and my gauges have 2 wires to each face (striped wire (black/white and solid wire (black)).

-So do I run striped (gauge) wire to striped (dimmer) wire and black (gauge) wire to black (dimmer) wire?

-Or do I run striped (gauge) wire to red (dimmer) wire and Black (gauge) wire to striped (dimmer) wire.

-Or do I run striped (gauge) wire to red (dimmer) wire and Black (gauge) wire to Black (dimmer) wire.

-Or do I run striped (gauge) wire to striped (dimmer) wire and Black (gauge) wire to black (dimmer) wire.

---Red/Black Wire---
[ Dimmer ] -------Red Wire-------
-------Black Wire-----

Sorry for the stupid question im just confused and Pissed cause I broke the Temp Needle and the needle set pin is stuck inside the Cluster

Thanks in advance for the help.....
PS...finally found a spare Sunroof switch to replace my broken one....Yeaaaaaaahsssssssss (and now I have to go out and find a used Fuel/Temp gauge)

I really gave up on this LOL when i would connect the indiglos. the dimmer lights woulkd turn off.. when i would disconnect they would come on.. bleh i decided to keep indiglos..

Use a test light, see which turns off when the lights are off. My RS is wired up that way.

Yeah im not the most stupid person in the world....I tested and found Red and Black/Red to be a positive line but I still couldnt get the gauges to light up....maybe I had a bad set of Gauges...they were used....guess ill have to ebay a new set...but which of the 2 wires on the gauge faces is positive? The (striped)dashed one or the solid? Am I gunna be able to hack a used Cluster for Temp/Fuel gauge and Coil cluster and transfer it? Still ticked off that the needle snapped off the temp gauge...it must have been brittle or tampered with before, cause it snaped off real easy and i was going real easy on it trying not to break it.

Noone said u were stupid. Unless you post details, we can only guess what you have or have not tried.

You are using the inverter, correct? Does it work when you connect it straight to the battery?

I connected the inverter to the Potentiometer (dimmer dial) and connected the hot wire to one of my OEM dimmer switch wires I found that turns off with the lights, with the test light, and grounded it to the dash.

My set didn't come with the Inverter . Im just gunna order a new set and try it again later. Thanks for trying to help...at the moment I need to get a new Gauge for the temp and fuel (needle broke from half of the set pin) and then Ill order a new set of gauges with a "Inverter" then Ill probablly have no problems after but Ill drop a line if I do......Thanks all
