Hello,
I have a 2wd '93 Ranger 5 speed four banger that I am adding an OEM tachometer to. I have already installed oil pressure and water temp gauges on the pillar but I never got around to hooking the lights up on them. I thought that since I have the gauge cluster out, now would be the perfect time to wire them in.
Normally when I add electrical accessories I run a new hot wire and wire in a relay to be switched on/off by existing accessories. However, I am thinking it would be nice to have these gauges hooked into the factory dimmer switch. Can I just splice into the factory gauge lighting and run directly off of them or would it add too much to the circuit?
Thanks, Derek
