wiring guages

mimicons · 04-10-2002, 08:05 AM

I am wiring up a set of guages, and I wanted to get some feedback on the best place to route the wires through the firewall. Also, for the guage lights, which wire should I splice into to get power? Thanks in advance for the help.

Just cut a small hole in the rubber piece that surrounds the steering column.

As for the power supply, I just placed the power wire into the fuse that controls the dashboard lights. That way, when I turn on my headlights, my gauges light up with my other dash lights.

Good luck,
E
