white face gauges, what glue to use

[old_blue]

Well, I got a set off ebay and found that it came with no glue...... anyone have any ideas. they will not stay on with the old glue (too little). need something none corrosive but will stay on even during the hot arizona days.

when i did my white gauges I slipped them right over the old ones. No glue needed

 

[old_blue]

how did they stay?

 

[gcwh02]

did you get the reverse glow ones that cover the whole background?

 

[old_blue]

yes, they have pig tails coming out of the corners.

sent you an email

I just noticed there is an on/off switch that has to be hit everytime the lights go on to turn on the gauge lights. is there any way to bypass this?

 

[Roland69]

splice into a power that comes on with the lights

 

[old_blue]

this won't short it out or anything? it is a switch that has to be hit when the lights come on. then once the lights are switch off then back on, the same switch has to be hit again. it is separate from the light switch

 

[old_blue]

should I just splice it is with the power switch that connectors to the 12v source?

 

[old_blue]

the red is positive and the black is the ground. the red is spliced into the headlight switch.

the other 2 black run next to each other into a plug. that plug connects into a spring button style switch. each time the lights are turned on I have to push the button for the dash to come on. it won't stay on. Can I just cut these 2 wires and splice them in with the red wire?

try it and see...just make the guage switch get power when you hit the headlight button...the hard part will be wiring it all up..which shouldent be too difficult

all the wires go into this little box power inverter. I am not sure if it would be a good idea to bypass this or not. I don't want to keep flipping an additional switch each time I turn my headlights on. I don't think I can open the box with out destroying it either. What does the power inverter do ? think I can just get rid of it and wire the gauges into the head light switch alone? (I doubt it)

post up a pic i want to see them? and what part of az you live in? i just moved from glendale around 43rd and northern

 

[old_blue]

i think i have it figured out. I dont think I had a good ground and it kept cutting out. I live in gilbert. where did you move to?

 

[nonglossjason]

i moved to vancouver washington, only for a little bit though. DO you go to the pavs? if not its a really fun time.

 

[Mustang5L5]

It would help if we knew what kind of gauge faces you had. There are many different types.

 

[blownlxvert]

as far as the glue goes, 3m plastic and emblem adheasive.
