I did that, like i tied the lights into the headlight fuse, and the one that powers the gauge needs to be on something that is switched so i tied that one into the power window fuse because that is one of very few that one powers when you turn the car on, or to accesory.

yea weirdnshit has happened like the water temp gauge that poped off he top of it like where you hook up the wire....and the gauge only worked yesterday for like 10 min.... and then i just pounded the top back in and it still doesnt work and i think its grounded right because i grounded the gauge with the ground on the light for the gauge....and the lights still light up.

That is the longest run-on sentance ive seen yet.

make sure your ground wires are tightened down really good....other than that good luck.

Current goes through that part or the car with another circuit, it might light up when you use something like the horn or winshield wipers. Ground it somewhere, then check your horn, windshield wipers, headlights, etc. If it flashes the backlight of the gauges or something like that, ground it somewhere else. just a quick tip.
