I don't remember the exact color codes for the wires. However, if you follow the instruction and connect one to a constant 12v, one to an ignition source and one the illumination (solid gray) then your gauge will light up during the day and dims when you turn on the headlight.

thats how mine are set up... :w00t:

Use a multimeter and find a 12V constant power source in the fusebox. There are several available. This will give you an idea of where to look, it's where I've sourced the 12V on my own car. It is the red wire.

Use a blade crimp and that will sort you out.

big thread revival...i'm thinking of getting a set of these defi racer gauges and a newsouth dashpod...for those with this set up, is there any windshield glare at night with the gauge's LEDs?

So do these blue racer gauges all go to a single control box, or are they separate sensors for each one that need to go to the engine bay?

And for anyone with an oil-temp gauge, have you noticed how long it takes for the car to warm up from totally cold, and how much longer it takes than the coolant warm up time?

I did have some windshield glare but then I got the cowlings for each gauge (can't remember if the DEFI racer gauges come with the cowling)

The DEFI Racer gauges each have their own line and a sensor. The DEFI-link BF gauges (like I have) have sensors inputs to the Control Unit II with a single line out of the control unit to the gauges.
