i was thinking of hooking mine up to the dimmer switch on the dash. that way you could adjust the brightness. im not too sure if it'll work but im going to give it a shot.

^^^^^That's what I did, works a treat

i pissed my dimmer switch off because it was broken piece of shit...

Why not get a small switch from jay car or something? And wire it up to the wire of the light. I did this to my boost gauge and it works fine.

Just a thought.

hey ppl this is what im trying to say i need to find the head light fuse so i can use the head light switch to light my boost gauge but i can find it. Ive tried every fuse under the dash with a test light turning off and on the lights to find something I can use but nothing works.

checked the fuse box in the boot?

ummm you have worked on the dimmer switch.. the power feed you need is that wire...

so find that wire in which you joined to remove the dimmer switch, and T in your power to your guage

Hey i used the power from the light that goes to the cigarette light that works awesome for me....just tapped into the wire....

there is a fuse box under your bonnet with a fuse marked "Tail L" on it, thats the one you want to tap into man.

if u go straight to the power for the lights it will be on all the time, your lights are on without the ignition on right? thats why it beeps when you leave them on. you need to splice into the power AFTER the parking lights switch, so it turns on when the parkers are on. u can do this near the ignition keyhole there is a white plug it is a red and blue/silver wire near there, however i installed mine into the console so got power from the illumination of my head deck, which i assume comes from the ciggarette lighter (its a mess in there, dodgy jap installers)

John,

If you remove your A/C behind there you will find wires labeled ACC, power and lights. They are red ,yellow and orange but cant remember which is which now but they are labeled

You can use the one labeled lights as its the same circuit that dims your displays in the centre console when you turn your head lights on and this will work for you.
