all i can say it take your time, when i bought my truck it also has glow shifts, the kid did a HORRENDOUS job installing them because there was a TON of wire everywhere and sticking out of places i didnt know existed... i took the time one day and cut out like 10' of wire no joke. looks much better. if you need any help let me know, i have the same if not similar guages, 7 series. egt boost fuel pressure. but there all essentially hooked up the same

I used this write-up when I did mine... not 100% but very good pics and instructions. Helped me... hardest part I had was finding the switched wire and the dimmer wire. I think I'm going to (eventually) install a manual dimmer, anyway.
