Hey guys,
Whats the best way to hook these puppies up? I bought them used, and got new wiring harnesses. No instructions. I just need to know where is best to hook up the power/ground and the white wire for both the gauges. They're fuel/oil pressure if anyone wants to know. Also hooking them up along with my innovate wideband gauge on a autometer triple gauge pillar for my 01 Trans Am.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,
Adrian

COME ON, someone knows. I've searched all over the fucking internet and can't find any information. I want to do a CLEAN install, so it would be great to know what all I would need before I go off wasting time trying to install them.

white wire is for illumination, i believe. i caught the brown wire at the light switch so that when my lights kick on, it kicks on the gauge backlight. for power i caught ignition, pink, at the ignition harness, and grounded it in the kickpanel where the factory ground is.

I think autometer used to have install instructions on their website.

Thanks for the responses! I have it all hooked up, now i'm trying to figure out where to wire the white wires. Should I wire it into the "IP Dimmer" or the "Tail LPS" fuse in the kick panel? I believe that one of these should work, and I'm thinking its going to be the "IP Dimmer" fuse relay. The white wires are for illumination I believe... I couldn't figure out how to get the headlight bezel off, and I didn't want to break anything...
