Gauge wiring help

[joshaprice]

ok folks, new here. i bought a white glow gauge but don't know how to connect it in order for it to light up. it contains connectors to a pwer source and the gauge itself, then there are two lines (black and red). should i connect the red to a fuse such as the dash lights and ground the black? just guessing. any help would be great. thanks everyone....

I don't know what a white glow gauge thing is. Must be an age thing

It has to be grounded propery for it to work. So with that said I would think that the black is the ground. So it has 3 connecters right? You said power source so I'm thinking that one should go to some 12 volt source that would only come on when key is turned on. Fuse box maybe. Then Black to ground. And red to what ever it is that the gauge is supposed to read.
