#62280, "Easiest Lead to tap for Speed Hut gauges?"
I'm looking to install my gauges today after work, and was wondering what lead you guys tapped, and if I would have to take my dash apart to reach it. I have the upgraded invertor, if that matters at all...

Uhm, i used a wire above the fuse box in the dr kick panel...I think it was black with a green strip, i could be wrong. But it's a wire that gets power with the lights, if I remember correctly it's the lead that actually kicks on the relay for the headlights.

the one for parking lights is green/white. in the same place. there's a writeup w/ pics of the wire on the main site. you hafta take your dash apart a bit (just take out the cluster) so you can install the gauges and run the wires down to under the dash. might wanna glue/tape down the gas and temp gauges or make sure the needles dont' rub the overlay. i gotta mess with mine a bit more b/c it's rubbing slightly and not letting the needles swing freely. speedo and tach is no problem though.

the green/white wire coming off the dim adjuster is what I used which is + polarity. It turns on when the interior lights turn on like the gauge cluster. It is located on the dash to the left of the steering wheel. Its a little knob that adjusts brightness of the interior lights. You need to remove the panel on the bottom of the driver side dash. This was the easiest method I found for turning on accessory lights.
