Gauge Install Problems

No, you are correct. To get the lights to come on when you turn your parking or headlights on, you just have to use a tester and test to find which wire is hot when you turn your headlight switch on. Then. You also need a wire to go into your ignition switch wire. That will only send power to the gauge when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. I believe there is a drawing of that wire on the diagram that came with your guages. I don't know if you can get them to dim when you dim your other lights...i really wouldn't worry about that. Other than those two wires...all you have is a wire that you have to ground and then that's that.
