Well,since today was cool out I installed my new gauges Autometer sent me.I had to rip out all the wires and start all over.What a pain..Came out good though..I am glad I put a dimmer switch on....The trucks dimmer does nothing.These gauges are BRIGHT!!!


Here is a pic without the dimmer..

Then I used the dimmer..I could still dim it more.

Here is what the dimmer switch looks like..You twist the dial....Works great.

These are hooked up to the trucks dimmer..I had to get an extra dimmer switch because these gauges are so bright..The trucks dimmer by itself didnt do much..
