EGT Gauge Electrical Question

My Di Pricol gauge came with a little light bulb with two black wires. The wire harness that came with the gauge came with two additional wires for electrical hookup - black and white.

Which wires to I connect where??

The light bulb does not matter...

Hook one of the blacks from the second light to the white from the gauge and hook that to the dimmed 12v behind the light switch. I believe it is one of the brown wires with the orange stripe. It will take a volmeter to check wich one fades. Hok the othe two blacks together and ground to a machine screw within the dash area...there are plenty to choose from.

Connect the black lead in the 4-prong plug to the dimmer +VDC and the white wire to ground. It doesn't matter which lead is +VDC on the bulb.

and yeah, i saw the info about the hemi. that manual has more in it than i thought it would!
