OK, how many wires are coming out of the back of your gauge? If there's 3, one is hot, one is ground, and one is dimmer. If there's 2, there's no dimmer. Connect the black wire from the gauge to any ground point. Connect the red (hot) to relay 75x(it's under your dash in the relay box...you'll see it). Connect the dimmer if you have it to pin 1 on the dimmer switch(the blue/grey wire).
That's how mine is hooked up and it works great!  Loving the cluster btw.

No... it's down in the driver's side foot well.
You need to take the black cover off the underside of the dash in the well (if you haven't already). The relay is going to be right above the dead pedal. (oooh... I think this is the first time this infamous picture has been posted to the NEW org  )

now that means when you start your car the light will come on. so if you want to work on a switch you are going to have to wire an inline on/off switch.

I gotta look into the cost of the '06 instrument cluster. I really like the redesign and the red info display.
