I tapped my keyed on hot wire to the one for the radio. I figured that the gauges don't really draw enough power to make it a problem. For the lights, I tapped off of the parking light wire that comes out of the back of the headlight switch. If I remember correctly, it's a black wire with a yellow stripe towards the top of the switch.

I tapped fuse #5 illumination for the lights and I think #15 cigar lighter for the keyed on hot for the pyro... Phil

Spend the extra money and install an auxiliary fuse panel from painless wiring . You'll never have to splice into your stock harness again . I did have to tap into my dash lights reostat so I could vary the lighting level on my guages . Good luck .

I used several used Add-a-Circuit fuse holders. Got them from the local auto parts store or Farm and Fleet. Less than $6, IIRC. Can get ones that use the ATO or the mini fuses.



One for the power, and one for the lights. The gauge lights dim with the stock dash lights.
