Exclamation HELP!?! I JUST INSTALLED MY AC REVERSE INDIGLOS

I just installed my reverse indiglo guages and no my dash lights are WAY dimmer at night and my guages don't seem to be having enough power going to them. If my engine is off they just flicker and flicker. When I start my car they eventually flick on. What did I do wrong?? On the back of the guage cluser there is a blue and a green connector. I connected my guage wires to 2 wires from the blue connector, was this wrong??

you were only supposed to connect your red wire from your gauges to the red/black wire (there are pics of it in the DIY)... and the black wire to ground (the best place is to use the screw...)

also make sure that all connections are perfect, use wire taps to join the wires, and a wire tab to ground your gauges...

check out the DIY for further reference and pics... and good luck!

I just put my gauges in last week check out how they look in my member's ride

thanks guy for your help. I looked at the DIY but it still didn't work. I think I am going to wire the guage lights to a switch and be able to turn them off and on on their own. It'll also help to take care of the dim dashlight problem
