A few months back I bought some reverse glow guage overlays, which for the most part followed the spec in the indiglo guage tech article in that it had the six overlays with wires coming out of each, with each wire having a male/female connector that plugged into a switching power supply box. The power supply box pulled power from a source (I had it wired to the dash light line) and from what I can tell transformed or resisted electricity so that the EL lights wouldn't burn out.
Unfortunately, due to some electrical problems the box burned out. I may have to order another, but I was just wondering if anyone knew the voltage limit / requirement for the guages?** I'd like to just wire them into the power source for my dash lights, completely bypassing the included power box thing (which is now burned out) so that when I flip on my headlights they'll just automatically come on, no needing to turn on the indiglos individually. I just don't want to kill the things.
