Re: installing lights for under dash gauges

Find the PNL LTSW fuse on the fuse panel and splice into the gray wire that comes off it. There should be an input green wire to the fuse That comes off the headlight switch rheostat for dimming of the lights. It is not fused so the gray wire is the one you need. You might consider upgrading the fuse to a 4 or 5 amp. There are other ways to do this, but I think this is the easiest.
