Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Optix Gauge Install ??

[CDeklotz]

Hey guys, i just ordered some DiPricol Optix Gauges tonight and want to be ready to install when they get here. Ive read that the LED's need to be wired into the lights but one that doesn't dim, because of the dimmers that come with the wiring harness that i purchased too. Does anyone know what wire and color it in located to best provide power to the LED lights on these gauges. Any pics will help. Also, where is the best place to use power to these gauges for an 02 HO? And last where is the best place to come through the firewall for a 6 speed. Rest of the install i have down, since installing gauges for my dads 03 6. 0L. Thanks Cole.

I wired wine into the inside fuseblock at the fuse and they are dimmable with the rest of the dash lights. I used the adjustable dimmer in the gauge harness to match the light out put of the brighter LEDs to the level of the dash lights and now they will dim with the rest at the same level from off to bright.

I don't know if your truck has the same wire colors as my 99 but if I remember correctly it was tan w/ red stripe.
