    power wire can be tap into anything that has 12 volts. preferably your headlight switch. use a 12v meter to see if you get a constant power on one of the wire, that will be your power. then turn it on and off and see which wire loses the 12 v, that would be your switch

    use the fuse, dammit! left kick panel on the driver's side....look at the back of the cover for which one is for the parking/headlights and just take it out...wrap the wire around one of the teeth and stuff that biatch back in there.

    :D

    What year is your car? Use your car body or a bolt for a negative connection, tap into your current gauges for positive. If you have 98-02 I can tell you which wire. Ok, I'll tell you anyway, it's the brown one going into your gauges, good luck! Test with a test light first, in case I forgot the color.

    that's correct....unless you change the backlighting in the cluster, it still has that shitty yellowish glow....bleh...doesn't look good with the reverse gauges, but when i had mine, i just turned it down enough so i could still see the odometer and temperature controls and that was good nuff.
