All of the small gauges, fuel, volts, oil, and air temp have two plugs. One is for illumination the
other is for the gauge power, ground, and sensor signal. The illumination harness, two pins (orange and
black wires), and will not be reused and can hang freely inside the fairing with the bulb removed, or can
be secured to the other gauge wires to clean things up. The three pin connector from the stock gauge will
be used to connect the new Dakota Digital MCL-3k gauge. Unplug connectors at the back of the gauge,
then remove the two 5/16” nuts holding the clamps onto each small gauge and remove the gauges.
