Dakota Digital help.

Hey guys, I am about to install my new Dakota gauges in my 76 f150 and i could really use some help with the wiring. Can someone direct me to a diagram with color codes for turn signal indicators, high beam indicator, brake warning light, also what wire would i tap into for the gauges to light up when i turn on my headlights?

Thanks

You can figure most of that out with a 12v test light. However I am sure someone has a copy of the 76 wiring diagram. I have a 74 copy which should fit the bill. PM me your email and I will email you the factory diagram if you want it.

Red, blue and white with a choice of silver, black or carbon fiber gauge faces. I want a set, but am still choking on the $800 price tag.

You know, if I didn't have a couple perfect gauge clusters already, I could possibly justify it. In all honesty, as cool and as good as they look, I may still consider them at that price.
