Aftermarket gauge light wiring...

[Sinister]

Got some aftermarket gauges, I'm in the middle of hooking everything up.
The instructions say to wire the lights for the gauges between the dimmer control switch and the dash lights, where should I be hooking up the positive connection?

If you have the original fusebox there is a male spade conector that say something like clst feed or something or inst feed.

Or you can ground the wire to the bolt the holds the fuse box to the firewall.

That's the way to do it, they will come on with the dash lights, and dim with them too.

Thanks for all the replies, I love this place...

Gauge lights not working, I'm pretty sure the ground is good because the voltmeter is working, any ideas?

Do they light up if you give them juice from a different place on the fuse box?

i always got power from the wire that feeds the lights on the ac/heater control//never assume a good ground

I got them working, the headlight switch is intermittent and needs to be swapped out...
