Gauge Install Advice

I know this has been covered in many different ways here, and I have done gauges in the past. But this one Ill be doing to my truck next week has got me worried. Like Ive said I have installed them before, but on cars I knew. Dont know much on the diesel world yet, and almost all my setups have been Autometer. Basically if I recall right, power, ground, dimmer, and sensor wires on the rear of the gauges.

2000 F250 4x4 Lariat (doubt it matters)

Clays quad pillar 4 Isspro gauge set up.

Now with what said above about what Ive done, today in the mail I recieve a box from Clay with a dimmer setup for the gauges. 8 wires or so, and instructions that might as well be written in some other language. When it comes to instructions Im a little kid. If it doesnt have pictures, I have no clue what it says. So theres where Im getting worried.

Any advice would be appreciated on this subject. If you have a write-up on how to do it, where to tap in would be great. Hell if you have a coloring book full of pictures on how to do this, im all over it.

I maybe over thinking it due to never seeing a setup like the dimmer, but I would rather be ready with information, then stuck in the middle with none.

Thanks for any help.

Have you looked at the instructions on Clay's website? http://www.riffraffdiesel.com/mm5/RE...ISSPRO_EV2.pdf They are pretty informative and have pictures, too.

Print out the Gauge and dimmer instructions from Clays's site and take them out to the truck with you. It made the job easier for me.
