Hi all, apologies if this is a repost but I can't seem to find the answer. I am using vintage gauges with GPS speedo. I am hoping someone can confirm that, since the GPS sensor is a different plug, the green/blue bundle pictured below is not used. I would like to clean up my wiring behind the dash and I want to cut this down if I can. Thanks in advance!

No, those are your turn signal and high beam indicator wires. You don't want to remove those (unless you don't want to use the built-in indicator LED's in the gauge).

Ah, mystery solved! No, I'm running separate indicator lights. Thanks for the link to the instructions, that's great detail that I didn't have...

Those Speedhut GPS speedos only need the antenna and power and are good to go. The internal indicators are a little dim in my experience. Get pretty washed out in direct sunlight. But easy to piggyback onto your separate indicators if you're so inclined.
The instructions with schematics did come in the box with the gauges. Also available at Speedhut's website as linked.

Never understand why the directions never get read?:confused:

Thanks! I wired them up last night... figured doesn't hurt anything to have them connected. Thanks all!
