Connected to the white wire on the temperature sensor unit
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Using automotive grade wiring (18 gauge), connect the
red wire and POST 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.

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 “add a
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.
3. (Optional) The dimming feature of the Tinted Series
decreases the brightness of the lighted gauge face 30%.
Connect the orange wire to a positive 12 volt switched
source. The most common installation is to splice and
connect to the 12 volt positive headlight source. This step
is completely optional.

This gauge should never be connected to a dimmer.
Connecting the gauge to any type of dimmer switch
unit will cause the gauge to improperly function.
4. There are three common types of oil temperature sender unit
installations:

Oil Gallery Installation: Drill and tap the oil gallery to 1/8
NPT. Install the supplied temperature sender.

T-Fitting Installation: Purchase a 1/8 NPT - T-Fitting from
www.GlowShift.com or an authorized dealer. After, you may
remove the stock sending unit and fasten the T-fitting in its
place. The fitting allows you to “t” off one port and opens up
3 more, which then allows for the stock and GlowShift units
to be installed and operate simultaneously.

Oil Filter Adapter Installation: Purchase an Oil Filter
Sandwich Adapter from www.GlowShift.com or an
authorized dealer. This adapter will extend your oil filter an
inch and additional ports to connect to your GlowShift
pressure sensor.
5. Connect the white temperature sender wire to the POST
on the back of the gauge.
6. Connect the black wire from the gauge, POST and the
black temp sender wire 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.

Be sure all of your wiring is correct for proper gauge operation.
