For power i tapped in to the Cigar plug, then for dimming lights i tapped in to the proper wire in the headlight harness. ground i ran to a good spot then just ran my gauge wire through the fire wall with all my other friggin wires... Going to take a day and rewire all my lighting and radios.

All instructions were included with my gauges from glow shift, and they are indeed also on their website.

I dont know if you mean AFT fluid or AFT+4 but...
Did you know that all the ATF+4 is the same synthetic formula... it has to be made to the same standards to get licensing from Chrysler.... So any brand from the $5 to 9$ a quart will really have the same performance....
