How do I wire in the lights for my gauges so that they dim with the OEM dash panel? Right now I have them daisy chained (A pillar mounted) but I just ran to hot side to the fuse box to make sure they worked and to see how they looked. Where would I splice in so that they were controlled by my dash lights?

 

go right to your light switch, wire right into them

 

I cant remember the wire color...I can crawl under the dash in the morning for you.....some reason brown is sticking in my head...but will make sure in the morning

 

Use #10 fuse in the fuse panel

 

per Tim's webshots....it is lt blu/red

That's the best way!
Use the bottom leg of the fuse and they are fuse protected, they're turned on/off and dimmed by the headlight switch like the other dash lights and you won't have to cut and splice any wires.

 

Oops, usd wrong quote!

 

OK, that's the way I wanted to do it. Maybe I need new glasses. I tried putting it on the bottom leg of the #4 fuse because I thought it said that was the one for the dash lights.

 

That did the trick.

Thanks

Man, you just don't know. I've been burning Ebay up. Well, not all for parts. My last three purchases were a '95 Ford Truck Repair Manual CD, a 2-volume factory manuals for 1995 F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco and F-Super Duty, and the 1995 7.3L Diesel Supplement. Hopefully those will be here by early next week.
