i have white overlays but its the ones that have a different light up or sumting and have to be wired up. I have no clue what to do with it.

You could probably wire it to the dimmer switch.

I don't have my wiring diagrams right now, but if you want I can tell you which wire is what tomorrow afternoon while the baby's sleeping ;)

Alrighty, i think here soon i'm going to take pics so ya'll really know whats up.
Cuz i'm really not understanding this stuff.
But thanks ya'll.

what wires do u have? post pics

[clinton_62]

I tried to get the best photos i could.

thats the same thing i got for my car. its real easy to install them. mine came with instructions. i'm assuming you go that little box thing where you connect all the gauges to? as well as an on and off switch or dimmer?

[clinton_62]

yea, only thing tho is mine didn't have instructions and i'm not a genius when it come to wiring.

[lord2heart]

errrr i take that back, didnt look at the pics closely, you do have the stuff lol. well i did it in a way which when my headlights kick in automaticly, the guages would turn on. pretty much long story short. i punched out the little light bulb thats in your center counsole ( have to take out that face plate thing thats around your stero and your shift nob for this) and just tapped into that. instruction says that (if i remember what which wire color it is) the black and white stiped one is connected to + and the other is grounded. i'm no electrition but to me, that isnt a complete circut so i just connected postive to positve and negative to negative. it works that way but i'l just some of the members here to confirm it if its cool. have it installed like this for about a month and a half and no problems

[clinton_62]

Alright, thanks for your help...still don't know how i'm going to do this.
Do you think there's like an online instructions...i've been looking but can't find any.
Also, how would i get the wires to strech from the stero to my gauges, the stock wiring box is behind the driver vent and inside the side fuse box area...
I've had these for like 5 days and have gotten no where but pissed.

[lord2heart]

well, pretty sure theres instructions some where in the internet. mine didnt really say how to install them, just electicle stuff saying this wire connect to positive and other to ground

[heineck]

i wired mine into the cluster harness it was an orange wire, same thing when my HL come on at nite so do my gauges ill look it up and take a pic for u tonite if i can
