Default Gauge Cluster power wire

I got another set of gauges I want to know what wires to hook up to a battery to have the lights come on so I can check my work as I go along.

They are 05 gauges

I would but taking it back out to fix what needs fixed would be a PITA

if I could just have it lit while working with it on my work bench would be a lot easier

Not replacing the bulbs

I have a spare gauge I am working with. Dont wanna say to much or it will give it away.

Thanks to Bob for helping me out though. I originally located the black wire (ground) and individually put the pos. onto every wire. Nothing ever happened

He told me there was ground on each connector. So I finnaly found the illumination wire

Now the real project begins on monday
