I just put one of UTV Inc's kits on on mine today. The brown wire on the back of the headlight switch should give you your power....the blue wire will give you power to the light in he gauge.

dont need any kit.

use the "+" wire (pink) coming from your cigarette lighter, that's how mine is hooked up works great.

you got it!

make sure there is an inline fuse on the power from the battery.

Why are you running a constant hot to your water temp gauge?

You need a switched ign hot and switched taillight hot.

my gauge is wired the same way. has a constant hot, then an ignition wire also, along with ground and sender.

Dan, What type of gauge are you running?

 

[dbestduner]

it was a Ractive, now it's on the Father in laws, and I got some LED's.

A good place for a switched wire is the 12v accessory outlet. I know on mine there is no power when engine is off.
