wiring gauges to a switch
hey guys, im gonna be installing some gauges this weekend. All 3 are going on the A pillar, im wondering if i can pick up a little toggle switch from autozone and wire the gauges through that. A pillar gauges are sometimes a distraction and id like to be able to just flip a switch to cut them off when im just cruising around at night and do not need to monitor them. if thats possible, how does that wiring usually work. do you wire the main power and ground to the switch and then from switch to power and ground of car?
thanks.
thanks.

i did this not too long ago just because it seems more people are idiots when they seeyou have gauges. all i did was wire everything up like you normally would for any gauge then put the toggle in the wire thatturns the lights up everything still work they just dont light up until i flip the switch

I just purchased some gauges and i would like to turn the lights off at night by wiring in a switch. I only want to turn the lights off not the entire gauge. Can any one elaborate on this a little more?
