  • led gauge lights

    ok i got a 12" strip of led lights for my gauge cluster in my 95 aspire. i have heard on fa.com that there is a clear piece of plastic on top of the cluster for the lights, on the strip wiring, one wire is solid black and the other is black/white,

    1st question, how do i get the cluster out lol
    2nd question which wire is pos and which is gnd
    3rd should i tap into a gauge cluster light? or wire to a seperate switch?
    4th how hard is this to do lol

    This should help get the cluster out. http://tinyurl.com/yfh2fe
    Then just wire it to the stock location on the cluster, this is really noticable when you have it out. It should be pretty simple to do. Red is +, black is -

      ok i got it installed just need to wait till sun night to take a pic as im goin huntin this weekend, sixstring over at fa.com said for the pos wire take it to the fuse box for the gauge lights, well i did this and it had power all time, so i had to pull the gauge completly out and just hook onto an ill light wasnt hard i just set the bare wire on the connector and the put the bulb back in so that was done, and it turn on when the head lights are on, the only major problem i had was getting the spedo cable hooked up after the light was in, finally i called a guy on fa.com and he helped me, theres a nut on the spedo cable in the engine bay that you can unhook to get more slack inside to hook it up, well i fought with it for about an hour and a half before i called him, lol another half hour i was done =)


      if it wasnt for the spedo cable problem and aside from letting the super glue set up to dry (what i used to secure it to the cluster) would have taken prolly half hour lol.

      anyway ill get some pics sun night
