MaxTow Double Vision Gauge Brightness Settings & Installation Requirements
Service instruction sheet covering MaxTow gauge brightness programming steps and installation material requirements.
This document is an instruction page for the MaxTow Gauges "Double Vision" gauge series, uploaded to a 1995 Ford Bronco gallery but applicable to the aftermarket gauges rather than a specific vehicle. It explains the selectable brightness feature: three dimming settings each for Day Mode and Night Mode. In Day Mode, the user presses and holds the gauge-face button until "d1" appears in the digital display, then presses again to cycle through three dimming modes; releasing the button saves the selection. Night Mode works the same way (displaying "n1") but is only available when the orange dimmer wire is connected and the headlights are on. The page also lists additional installation information and material requirements: 18-gauge sheathed automotive wire is recommended, rubber grommets should be used when routing wires or hoses through the firewall, wire nuts are prohibited (crimp connectors or solder required), and additional accessories or adapters may be needed per the installation instructions. It warns that installation documents are only a guide for mechanically capable installers, and that damage from improper installation is not covered under MaxTow's one-year limited warranty. Technical support contact information is given: 1.877.7MaxTow, [email protected], Monday–Friday 9am–6pm EST.
