try turning the dimmer all the way down, if it doesnt make a difference then you hooked up the dimmer (potentiometer) wrong...if it does make a difference i would check your connections, make sure there arent any shorts and I'd solder your connections if possible.

do you have the 6 color gauges or the the 2 color gauges? I have the 6 color gauges and there is a button that changes the color and how bright you want your gauges.

You also want to make sure the car is turned on and running. The regular indiglos I got from autodynamic.com turn off and flicker without constant power. Sometimes when I have the stereo on they start messing up. It's also like they need alternator power or something.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

make sure you get power from the red with black wire. I had my old gauges hooked up to the solid red wire and I had to turn the dimmer all the way down, and eventually the indiglos burnt out. Now that i hooked it up to the red wire with black stripe they work perfectly, and my new gauges have their own dimmer **** which is sweet!

Have you tried looking at them at night or are you trying to see them in the sunlight?
