Wireing boost gauge

[livelyjay]

Here's the plan for wiring this weekend. The WBO2 will be wired into this as well, but probably not for another few weeks.

if you want the gauge lights to dim with the dash, attach BOTH pos and neg wires to the dimmer coloured wires (not the black ground). You can solder or use the splicers. Don't ground to the chassis anywhere for the lights and you're good to go.

edit: yea just like your diagram. Just make sure you don't attach to the dimmer ground or you won't get it to dim properly.

so both wires from the gauge go onto the dimmer wire?

there are 3 wires to the dimmer - ground and 2 others. attach pos to one of the others, and neg to the other of the others.

... lol makes sense to me. I've wired in 5 cars like that.

There are three wires on the dimmer, green, green/black, and black. Just hook up the light bulb wires to each of those and you're good to go. I'm going to hook white to green and black to green/black.
