Default How the fizzle or where the fizzle do i install these!!

Ok guys,

I bought these gauge overlays from Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

But they didnt come with instructions. THis is what the kit looks like:



Where do the black and red wires go? Where do they hook up too?

im pretty sure that u take the black one and connect it to groud, and the red one connects to yor lights...so they come on when the light do as well...and the switch you can install anywhere you want so u can play with the colors and intensity

I dont speak Snoopish. But they slip over your existing cluster. I used some thin 3m on my GTP between the cluster and overlay. From there the red needs to go to a dimming controlled 12v source and the black to ground. The rest of the crap i just leave on and tuck up in the dash. The dimming 12v will not hurt them. I had mine on the GTP for years.

Take off the bezel around your headlight switch, take off the 2 bolts hold it in and pull it out.. Find either the thick or skinny black wire and the thick orange wire.. Connect the black to black and the red to the orange...

Do you mean this overlay?

I had this on my old 00 v6 Camaro and it fit perfectly. The only downside is that on a Camaro it covers up the small icons for fuel, volt, oil, and temp, but on the overlay I think they're in a different place so it doesn't matter.
