Question Lunar Air/Fuel gauge hookup Q?

Newbie question:
I bought one of those pigtails to plug into the O2 sensor. I just need to know which driver side O2 sensor I need to hook it up to. Front or Rear?

And by the way, has anybody had anyproblems with the lunar gauges not having the same brightness? I know they flicker when dimmed, but my boost gauge is only about half as bright as the Air/fuel. Its not the wiring, so I am thinking the guage just might not have been made to specs. I will most likely send it back, but want to know if anybody has had this problem.
BTW - the LoTek 2 gauge pillar fits absolutely perfect.

Front.....it has to read the O2 sensor before the cats.

I would check your wiring. Mine did not flicker when dimmed and one was not brighter than the others. Flickering is a tell-tale sign of a bad connection.

Use the front O2 sensor. As far as the brightness goes, it sounds like you may have a defective gauge if everything is hooked up correctly.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I found some other L owner's who are experiencing the flickering when dimmed: https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...t=lunar+gauges
I have triple checked all my connections and whatnot, but I will go over them again to make sure they are good. Thanks again.

The lunar gauges flicker when dimmed.....regular gauges with incandescent style lightning will not flicker when dimmed. I do not know anyone who has lunar gauges that do not flicker when dimmed......well besides soap
