    whats up fellas i hooked my gauges in my car, i was trying to find a wire to hook my lights up too. I used my headlight since i don't need the lights during the day. I found the hot wire with my headlights and i cut it i ran me a wire into the dash to my gauges. Now my lights won't come on i hear a clicking sound and my lights in the car flicker. What else can i run a wire for my gauge lights?

    There should be a little empty spade right on the fuse box marked "LPS" I think that you can just plug in and go, it also dims with the dash lights.

    I agree with mike, I run my power wire to my hood tack from that fuse block spade.

    Or, you can tap into the ashtray light wire, it's conveniently located for most gauge installations
