right so you got vacuum boost and oil temp gauge there all the red to + all the black's to - on the battery and check they light up

 

hope these help guys???
forgot i even had a photo bucket account lol.

 

yes mate vacuum oil temp, and boost gauges, ive tried the above on a charger. ( coz its been raining, plus i do late shifts!) but no luck with them lighting up, gonna try it on the car battery before i start work tomorrow.

 

you sure the bulbs havent been blown ? and have you seen them working ?

 

nah mate i didnt see them working, they were for sale on their own and werent connected. but the fella included them in the sale.
i will take them out, and see if i can open them up and check the bulbs.

 

If your putting red to a known 12V and black to earth then they should light up. If not then they may well be fooked my friend.

 

I FEEL SO STUPID!!!!!!
Connected them to the car battery this morning coz it wasnt raining.
And hey presto!! We have lighting!!
I have always tested car steroes etc from the charger, as it has a 12 volt supply switch on it.
And use it to inflate tyres etc, have no idea why it didnt work with the gauges????
Just wanna say a big THANK YOU to all of u for your help and advice.
Will post a pic up this sunday when they are in and working.
Thanks again

 

looking forward to seeing

cant understand how it didnt work from my 12 volt supply???
but its all in now! sorry for blured pic.
