1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2. Using automotive grade wiring (18 gauge), connect

the red wire to a positive 12 volt ignition (switched)

source. It may be connected to the fuse panel, an

accessory wire, or any positive 12 volt source that

turns on and off with the ignition switch of the

vehicle.

 If wiring to an un-fused source, install a 3

amp fuse inline within 20 inches of the

sources connection. You may obtain an

optional “add a circuit” accessory. This

component easily fits into your fuse panel and

provides an additional fused power wire for

accessories such as gauges. This is available

at www.GlowShift.com or a local auto parts

store.

3. (Optional) The dimming feature of the Tinted

Series decreases the brightness of the lighted gauge

face 30%. Connect the orange wire to a positive 12

volt switched source. The most common installation is

to splice and connect to the 12 volt positive headlight

source. This step is completely optional.

 This gauge should never be connected to a dimmer.

Connecting the gauge to any type of dimmer switch

unit will cause the gauge to improperly function.

4. Connect the black wire to any good (unpainted) ground

connection. You may also route a wire directly to the negative

side of the vehicle’s battery.

5. Connect the green wire to the vehicle’s tachometer source

wire. You must consult your manual to ensure proper

connection. If connecting to an aftermarket ignition system, be

sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for connecting a

tachometer. Please consult a service manual or mechanic before

installing.

 Tachometer Test Port: Some vehicles may have a

tachometer test port or wire to obtain a tach signal from.

Consult your owner’s manual, dealer or licensed mechanic to

confirm.

 Tachometer Adapter: It may be necessary to install a

Tachometer Adapter if you have a multiple coil system. You

can purchase a Tachometer Adapter from local auto parts

store.

 Tachometer Filter: It may be necessary to use a Tachometer

Filter if you vehicle has an points style ignition system. You

can purchase a Tachometer Filter from www.GlowShift.com

or an Authorized Dealer.

7. Use the Cylinder Selection Switch to set the number of engine

cylinders on the tachometer to match that of your vehicle.

8. Reconnect the negative battery cable.

 Be sure all of your wiring is correct for proper gauge operation.

Additional Installation Information & Material Requirements  GlowShift Gauges Approved Conductor Wires: Successfully installing GlowShift Gauges may require lengths of wire (sizes and quantity depend on vehicle, gauge type, gauge location and / or sensor location). For correct and proper GlowShift Gauge installation and operation, the use of 18 Gauge (wire diameter) automotive grade conductor wire with sheathing is recommended for one or more gauges per vehicle.
