1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Connect the white wire to the back of the gauge (port D) and
run it through your firewall and to your vehicle’s tachometer
source wire or negative side of the coil. You must consult your
manual to ensure proper location. If connecting to an aftermarket
ignition system, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions
for connecting a tachometer. Please consult a service manual or
mechanic before installing.

Tachometer Test Wire: Some vehicles may have a
tachometer test wire to obtain a tachometer signal from.
Consult your repair manual or licensed mechanic to
confirm the location of this wire.

Tachometer Adapter: It may be necessary to install a
Tachometer Adapter if you have a multiple coil system.
You can purchase a Tachometer Adapter from local auto
parts store.

Tachometer Filter: It may be necessary to use a
Tachometer Filter if you vehicle has either a points style
or HEI ignition system. You can purchase a Tachometer
Filter from www.GlowShift.com

Note: Be sure to use a grommet when routing wires
through the firewall to protect them from stripping and
damage.
3. Connect the white wire to a positive 12 volt ignition (switched)
source. It may be connected to the fuse panel, an accessory wire,
or any positive 12 volt source that turns on and off with the
ignition switch of the vehicle.
4. Connect the
red wire to a positive 12 volt constant (un-switched)
source, either directly to the battery or to a fuse panel on the vehicle.

Note: If wiring to an un-fused source, install a 3 amp fuse
inline within 20 inches of the sources connection. You may
obtain an optional “expandable circuit” accessory. This
component easily fits into your fuse panel and provides an
additional fused power wire for accessories such as gauges.
This is available at www.GlowShift.com or a local auto
parts store.
5. The Night Time Dimming feature decreases the brightness of the
gauge face by 30%. Connect the
orange wire to the 12 volt positive
headlamp source. This allows the mode to be activated when the
headlights come on. This step is optional and will not affect
operation of the gauge if it is omitted. NOTE: Do not connect the
orange wire to a dimmer wheel. This will cause the gauge
lighting to flicker.
6. Connect the black wire from the gauge, to any good (unpainted)
ground connection. You may also route a wire directly to the
negative side of the vehicle’s battery.
7. Reconnect the negative battery cable.
8. Daisy Chain Feature (Optional): If you are installing more
than one Elite 10 Color Gauge, you can use the daisy chain feature
to power up to 4 additional gauges. Simply plug the included daisy
chain wire into the gauge that is already powered (port B); then
plug the other end of the wire into the daisy chain port on the next
gauge.
