is it my guages???

i bought some reverse indiglo guages and followed the DIY but when i turn my lights on, the new guages dont do anything, is it my guages?? anyways i dont know if your brainbox has four male connectors and the guages only have two. are the other two just there?? i installed them and connected everything but still didnt work so i took them out of the guage cluster. tonight i connected the guages to the male adpaters before installing them again and still wouldnt work, any suggestions??

Make sure you have it grounded good, and you have the power hook'd up right.

Also, if you got it off the internet, the brainbox might've shipped DOA...I got a set off of eBay for like 40.00, and the brain was dead - had to buy a cheap pair of gauges and snag the brain from that one...

Also, check to make sure everything is tapped in properly...when I first put in mine, I wasn't making a connection at all, and they wouldn't go on.

Hope that helps a bit!
