I know but mine have a button. I have to press it on evertime i want them on.

They are already hooked up. Just want it, when i turn on my lights, they turn on too.

ill let you know tomorrow i put indiglos tapped into the dash plug

tap them into the dash light wire. its the red/black one going to the blue connector on the gauge cluster (if you have 01-02 old style cluster).

Wouldn't it work if you just spliced those two wires together? Thats basically what the switch is doing isnt it?

exactly, if the power and ground wires are seperate from the wires shown in the picture, just short the two wires together, tape it up and throw it in the dash somewhere.

well its turns off whenever i turn of lights.

So that means it would be on at all times.? Or would it turn on with my lights/

well i think is a little bit of common sense...

you have to find the switch from the turn lights ON and plug it there that is the best i can think off..

i dont know about that, maybe. I know someone has done it on here.

comon no one has a clue, all of my dash is open still waiting for some info

what kind of connections do the indiglo guages have? I'm assuming power, ground, and then the two terminals for the switch. Also, what kind of switch is it? A momentary switch where it springs back when you let it go or a constant switch?

 
Rep Power: 0

yes all of the wires you states. And the switch springs back. Here is a pic of it.

you would need a simple sequential logic based circuit. If you cannot immediatly picture the circuit in your head then its too much for me to describe and too complicated to be worth your time


this is cause the stupid switch is sequential. push it once and its on. push same button again and its off. sucks huh?

ding ding ding

wouldnt happen to have an aftermarket alarm system with an open channel would you?

is not simpler to use a relay base switch? or perhaps just wire to the switch of the car and have it on all day..?????

i think i have to see how it works when you turn on the damn lights it shouldnt be too difficult to hook the cables of the indy glow to the lights switch

nope sorry lol.

anyway I do have an inverter I am not using right now.
Soltex can you solder? If you can I will give you this:

Just paypal me like $7 to diskreet(at)gmail.com and its yours (to cover shipping).
Its a mini inverter. Just needs wires soldered to it. Its tiny though.
Me testing on external power connector on computer:


Just plug the + and - right to your gauge cluster wires.
here is the wiring for the cluster:
[BLUE connecter]
Red/Black: Supplies 12V+ for dash backlights
Red: Supplies switched ground for dash lights

Just hook 'em up to those 2 wires. test it first (cluster must be plugged in for this to work) and if its right solder it up.

If you want it ill send it out tomorrow, just PM me your address. heck if you dont have paypal ill just send it to you anyway.

pm also,

so would it be all on the times, or would just turn on with my lights?

 
Rep Power: 0

if you hook the positive up to the dash light wire in the cluster, itll turn on when you turn the parking lights on

Ausome, just have to wait for the inverter.

 
Rep Power: 362

exactly. its getting sent out tomorrow just before i stop at the bank so I won't be lazy and forget: i have to make a deposit anyway! Which means thats good for you!
