Hello!
I would need some infos to wire my gauges. Long ago since demounting, no info left in my brain :o
Is there any doc outside?
Thinking of things are not complicated, but better ask one time bevore damaging things.

C01-12N - is for powering the backlight?
black/white = black=ground, white= 12V - for adjusting the lights, this voltage can bin 0 to 12V (adjustable)?
black/black-grey = power for backlight - just connect to the gauges

Oil pressure:
black/black-grey = backlight
red/black/white = red = 12v by ignition, black=ground, white = 12V for backlight (adjustable) ?
yellow-black = ground
yellow-red = 12v
yellow-green = signal ?

THX !

Speedhut gauges are relatively straightforward. For your older version, the C01-12N inverter is to power the backlighting. It should get a constant +12 volts from your gauge lighting feed and via the provided wiring daisy chains to all the gauges in your installation. Dimming is done via a variable resistor that should also be included with your gauges. The needles have a separate white wire (can also use the gauge lighting feed, but before the inverter) and do not dim. Note the clock does not have a wire to light the needles. Something I've never quite understood from Speedhut. Then each gauge has separate wires for +12 gauge power, ground, and sensor. The Speedhut instructions you have in the picture show these connections and the colors. I'm personally not familiar with that particular oil pressure gauge. In looking at Speedhut's website, appears to be a version that has a settable warning light.

Speedhut's website is very through with instructions and schematics. However, slightly confusing perhaps because they've changed to an all LED lighting setup which no longer uses the inverter like your older gauges. So many of the schematics won't match your gauges. Hold onto those instructions you already have! Speedhut's customer support is also very good. I wouldn't hesitate to contact them (on-line or phone) for assistance. Good luck.
