instrument cluster

hello all- i am adding aftermarket gauges to my stock panel. i have bought three indicator lights, two for turn signals and the other for high beam. i would hate to burn my truck up because i did something wrong with the wiring, so figured its best i ask since some of you have did your own wiring in that area.

truck

1974 ford f100

my questions

i assume on the stock 14pin idiot cluster the hazard and turn signals tie into each other what wire colors will i be looking for?

will the indicator lights need a ground wire?


thank you for any info you can provide

Just a side note.... Since you are redoing the entire setup it might be worth switching to gauges.

Go to 1973-1979 Ford Truck Wiring Diagrams & Schematics - FORDification.net . There you'll find the FACTORY wiring diagrams for your '74. These will be indispensable when doing any wiring work.
For the turn indicator lights go to page five, they're on the right side of the page.
