06 gauge question

Ok, now that the 06's have been out awhile, you guys have had a chance to install pyro gauges in them. I am going to be installing a isspro pyrometer, what wires (color if possible) did you connect to for power, ground and lighting. Thanks

Where are you getting the gauge(s)? There should be instructions with it.

ON EDIT:Sorry, didn't read it right the first time, I see what you are asking now and I will sit by patiently until someone answers us, I mean YOU.

the light I tapped into the dimmer switch next to the headlight switch. Next to that switch was another plug not connected to anything(think it was for push button 4WD(I have a manual transfer case) There was an ignition on wire there I tapped into.

there was a harness that i used right next to the headlight cluster. i think it used for the power pedals. might be the same one. just break out the test light

What color was the wire for the dimmer switch? I see the wiring harness that is actually taped to the head light cluster it has a blue plug in adaptor. I will use that for power, but there are a number of wires comming out of the headlight plug. Thanks

the dimmer wire is orange with a black tracer, but there is 2 or 3 orange with black tracers back there so you need to get your test light out and check for the one that lights up with the headlight/park-lights "on"


I think the blue plug is your trailer lights harness plug?
you may want to find a different power source.
