Indiglo Gauges PROBLEM!!!

Post by redstar »

Help me out guys please.

So the problem I have with my indiglo gauges is that they only light up, when my low-beam lights are on. Here is where the other problem occours, I have HID lights which means my lights are always on High-Beam so I can never see my indiglo gauges.

So, the question is, do these indiglo gauges only operate under low-beam lighting or are they just not pluged up properly???

Thanx in advance guys!!!

Please help me out!!!

Indiglo guages work however you decided to wire them up. I used the red/black wire coming on the stock dimmer. It's a 12v source that turns on as soon as i flip the switch for even the parking lights, so I have them working with the parking lights, low beam and high beam lights.

My guess is that it's mis-wired, and not a problem with the indiglos themselves, they are working fine, you just need to change the source that turns them on.

I set mine up to only work when the headlights are switched on... but the the indiglos switch off whenever I turn the high beams on. So, it may just be a matter of you switching out the indiglos to the high beam wires. I had mines hooked up to the high beams b mistake when I first installed mine, so, I simply hooked it up to the low beam wires with no problems.
