Run them behind the stereo, splice into the dash lights and the 12v ignition there, should be easy since they are right by where your tach will be mounted.

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?

Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

Right behind your radio will be a dash light wire for your stereo and also a 12v IGN for your stereo, just splice in however you were taught to splice.

If you have a test light that will help quite a bit, turn on your lights and look for a hot line, the one that goes off when the lights are off is the dash lights, do the exact same to find 12v ign, just turn the ign on and off.

it's easiest to just run the backlight wire to the light by the ashtray, and get the 12v+ from the cigarette lighter.
my guage's backlights dim with the dimmer for the dash ![[Smile]](smile.gif) It's nice when driving at night.

if you have an msd the tach green wire needs to get it's signal from the tach output on the side fo the msd box.
if you dont, try the other coil wire.
