ok in November, Socks was suppose to help me install my autometer oil temp, oil pressure, and volt gauges, but he ended up doing them for me...big ups to Nate hail.gif
the only thing that we did not do is hook up the lighting source for them, and with living in the Tidewater area in Virginia that has no lights in some areas and also having limo tint on all the windows its hard to see them at night...
I remember seeing on these forums that the best place to hook up the lighting source is to the dimmer switch...I just can not remember were i seen that at...
so if it is true...
which wires do i hook up the power to...one wire is green with black stripe, the other is green with white stripe and of course the black wire for ground...
if someone can help me out with this i would appreciate that...thanks in advance fing02.gif

Here we go:
You know what that's my car dimmer switch connector in the picture.
I took this picture about 3-4 years ago, and I sent the picture to one of the hyundai forum admins to post it. lol

any green/white and green/black wire combo in the car will dim the gauges with the cluster. the green/white is 12V and the green/black is a floating ground wire.
