there is really no gauge specific instructions.

All depends on which particular guages you are wiring up.


But all have things in common..

That's just the gauge style.

John if you need a hand and have it all apart already give me a call and you can stop by.

Generally the gauges are really easy to install. Here are the most common wire designations:

Signal - This goes to the appropriate sensor (if using an electrical gauge)
Power - This goes to a switched 12v power source
Ground - This goes to ground (If installing with an A pillar pod group all ground and ground to the a pillar)
Light 12v - Come out of the little round plug at the top of the gauge and is red in color. Connect to dimmer switch
Light Ground - Also comes out of the black plug, wire is black, connect with all other grounds.

If you need more specific instructions, I beleive Triangle Area Club Grand Prix has a nice writeup on specific gauges.

what type of gauges, boost, tranny temp, AF etc.

I installed those 3 and it took me a while, but it was easy to do. Just took a while to find a power source but I eventually used the passenger fuse box. Let me know what type of gauges and I can help you out.
