I have a set of gauges I am using for a project. The gauges did not come with all the sockets. I have some sockets that are Porsche and VW, but they do not seem to match to the insulated ones on the gauges I have. Anyone have some detailed info on which sockets go where and how they are grounded?
I know it's a little vague.. but.. thanks Mike |

Not sure I understand the question, and maybe this is obvious... but the sockets are for lights - either illumination or for warning, blinker, etc. The light bulb holders come in two varieties: plastic with two spades for power and ground, and metal with one spade for power where the metal body is the ground path to the gauge housing. The metal type requires that the gauge housing itself has a ground terminal.
