Should have came with instructions. If not contact Rich @ daddyscp and he will either tell you what goes where or mail you some directions.. :-)

Hah, I'm in the same boat as you.... With the same gauges!:D I have most of them down, jsut still a little confusion.

Red-12V constant
Yellow- 12V ACC(same as yellow wire on AM radio)
Black- Ground
Brown- Dimmer(can use dimmer wire on radio harness I think?)
Orange- ??? power line that wont disconnect at the start of the engine

The orange wire is where I get confused at. I dont know what ON power source it's referring too. Maybe something in the ignition or the fuse box.:confused: I've got a PM to Rich on IWSTi that I'm waiting on a reply for. Hopefuly he'll chime in here too. Most of the wires can be tapped in either from the clock harness or the radio harness. I just dont know where the hell the orange goes.

BTW- these gauges are freakin sweet!!

OK, got a reply from Rich. He said wire the orange wire to the fuse for the ignition. He doesn't know if thats the best spot for it, but a few installers are writing a install how-to and will be done next week. He sad using the ignition fuse is perfectly fine for now.

I dont know if this applies to you, cause I dont know if your using the clock location, but..... All the other wires can be tapped into the clock harness. So, just run the orange wire to the fuse box.:banana:

Do you have any pictures of where you stuck the orange wire? I'm currently having the same problem, just with a different gauge.

I also need a spot for the orange wire. The other four are in my radio/hvac region and I would like to know if I can use a wire in there.

Everything is fine when my ignition in on ON then if I start the car the illumination turn off because the power shut for the second the car is starting.

I'll post up the "how to install", that Rich sent me when I purchased my gauges from him.
