aren't there any gauges that you can buy where you don't have to wire them with a different switch. there has to be something thats like stock, where the white lights glow the color of the gauges. i had reverse glow in my 98 and didn't like how i had to turn the gauges on everytime i turned my headlights on.

You have to turn yours on seperately from your headlights? My reverse glow gauges come on with my headlights...

Yeah, something was wired wrong. Whether you read them wrong or they didn't tell you right.

I wired mine up to the dimmer (adjustable) switch. That way on the first click (parking lights) they would come on.

this is the easiest way to install the reverse glow gauges. the wiring for the gauges will end up near this area and the switch for the inverter can be mounted conveniently around this area.:cjw:
