I have some VDO gauges which are attached to the illumination wire on the radio harness. My problem is that the lights only turn on when the headlights are on, and not just the parking lights. Did I hook something up wrong???

 

anyone

 

If there is power going to that wire when the parking lights are on it should work. I wired my gauges into the dimmer switch for my gauge cluster. That way they all can be dimmed if I want.

 

I've heard of that but I want to keep the wires close

has anyone wired into the radio harness and had the same probs?

 

Use A voltage light. Pretty sure I tapped mine into the illuml. wire off the radio harness, not sure though.

 

Have the same gauges. Awesome set of gauges.

 

for the price and accuracy they are great, but it bugs me that they only light with the headlights and not the parking lights

 

I have same one. What is vacuum reading when its idle? Mine is 18 and bone stock evo. Thanx.

 

yup 18 to 19 and boosting to about 15 to 17, not wot though. I was told by the tuner its about 19 when I boost I just don't dare look at it while driving hard
