How do I wire indiglo gauges such that they turn on when the headlights are turn on? The black wire I guess goes to ground, but where do I hook the red wire?

Does the steering column have to be lowered in order to take the gauges out?

Please help me.

when I installed my friends indiglo gauges I just ran a hot wire from the parking light to the indiglo and then I grounded to a screw thats the fast easy way <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>
by the way you have to find a hole in the fire wall and snake it through

I wired the indiglos to the dimmer switch power feed (the 12v positive that goes to the dimmer, not after, which would not always be 12v since you can adjust the voltage) and the dimmer switch ground. &nbsp;That made wiring a lot easier and cleaner.

Yes...the plastic under the steering column will need to come out...and the steering column will need to come down a few inches.
