1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

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

wire and the POST 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 and the POST and to any good

(unpainted) ground connection. You may also route a wire

directly to the negative side of the vehicle’s battery.

5. Reconnect the negative battery cable.

 If your gauge(s) do not illuminate or work properly ,

first check your power and ground sources.

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.
