550 gauge cluster question:

[seuadr]

ok. TCK sent me some gauges, and i'm a little confused about some of the wiring..



these two sets of wiring running out of the gauges.. i assume they are for lighting.. but they bullet connect down to a single wire..



i'm confused.. do they ground out inside to the cluster or something?

Multiple grounds and leads.

Single power and ground IN/out of the gauges. The wires control multiple lights in the gauges themselves. Generally there are one or two up top and bottom of each gauge face.

ok.. so.. if they each end up with a single wire.. one gauge gets the hot, one gets the ground?

and thanks a ton for the help guys, i'm so close to being done ( minus a winter paintjob ) to having this thing done i can taste it!.. it tastes DELICIOUS!

:edit: i'm an idiot. i obviously was not looking at them right.. i didn't realize they were combining like colour wires from each gauge :doh: thanks for the clarification.. i probably wouldn't have noticed right away lol
