ORIGINAL: finny

i dont know were totap the gauges into for power. did you hook up too like dash lights or stereo or wut. any info would help thanks.
I tapped into the cig outlet for the main power, and a parking light wire for the lights. The lights in the gauges don't dim when i dim the dash lights, but really .... how often do you dim the dash lights. No biggie to me. I was just happy to find a light wire !!

BD Diesel Performance Power Pod Kit - Auxiliary Power Distribution









Item is available.

$99.99 (all prices in USD)
















WOW that's a LOT of money for what it is I think. Can't say that I blame you for trying to make your wireing easier, that just sounds expensive. Doesn't Geno's sell a painless kit for 1/2 that number?
