If you read my last 2 threads you should know what happened today but here you go with my missing water temp gauge since I gotta send it back for a electrical instead of mechanical, plus I had to reuse that gauge bezel since that other one didnt have the defroster hole cutout so talk about looking stupid till I get those 2 parts in to fix it but anyways here ya go....

Thats because you wired the gauges wrong. You need to tap the light power into the white/blue wire coming out of the headlight switch.

Dude you should invest in a tach mounting bracket so that thing doesn't become a projectile. Also to save your dash

What mounting bracket? It is mounted to the dash using a black plate that is attached to the bottom of the tachometer, Its not going anywhere its held down by 2 screws



]also I was just googling and found dimmer switches for LED gauges, wonder if I should do that instead of wire them up to headlight source

Get rid of the big ass tach and use the stock one and it wont be so bright. I have 4 C2 gauges in my car and its not too bright.
