    Installing aftermarket gauges Empty Installing aftermarket gauges

    Post by twinlinemoto Mon Jan 14, 2013 9:51 am

    After I found my old aftermarket mechanical cylinder head temp gauge broken, I bought a new triple gauge setup with temp, oil pressure and voltmeter. I understand what I need to do to hook up the gauges, but I found that some previous owner(s) had painted the interior with the harness still attached! I have no idea what color wires are where. Can anyone tell me a good source of switched 12v to turn on my temp and voltmeter? Also, I would like to have the gauge lights come on with the dash lights. Is it possible to use the same circuit from the headlight switch that turns? Or is that 6v?
