Ok the dealer has fixed my guages and they are up and working again, but it's going to a be a big hassle finding a company to put in my indiglos. With I woulda read your post that the RPMs were wrong, but too late now, I'll just have to deal. I have an automatic, so it doesn't really matter too much. Can you or anyone do me a really big favor and tell me a step by step DIY for the guages? Especially the wiring steps with the red and black wire. thanks

Do a search man.

Use these keywords:

gauges
indiglos
reverse indiglos

That's how I learned how to put on mine.

I did do a search, I'm not like the newbies who keep asking which intake is best over and over .. I'm new to wiring though, and I dont really understand what &quot;ground&quot; means. So I take the red wire, and solder it to the red wire on the blue group of wires I think. How do you &quot;ground&quot; the other one?

Find a screw that ties down a wire to the metal frame thats a ground point. you can drill your own hole, take the screw out and clamp down your black ground wire, or just tap into the black wire thats grounded to the metal

Thanks for the help Perfectcivic, I got it done tonight. No install of mine ever goes perfectly though. I managed to drop another one of the screws, gotta get a new one. I also kinda messed up the gas gauge [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disturbed.gif[/IMG].Ive got pretty much a full tank it it wont go past a lil over half way, so i dunno what I'm gonna do about that. Thanks
