Calum122 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Preferably off the wires that turn the lights on mate. So spur off the clock lights. That's where mine are going. Then they're only on when it's dark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP91crazy Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 If they have a dimmer then they need to be connected to something that's switched on. I.e your lights so it dims with the lights... In the bulk head by the master cylinder there's a bung for the main loom you can remove it and it comes at the bottom of your acceleration pedal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3 silver gt Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I used the green wire off the front fog switch on my gt and my gauges lit up when I turned the headlights on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FrozenJakalope Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I ran mine down to the ciggy lighter, can't remember why but there was a good reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Well I will power it off the ciggy earth on the chassis and illumation from the fog switch. Just need to get some connectors and start the wiring mess Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Pop the gauge cluster out and tag into the illumination wire - nice and easy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnold Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Mine goes off the ignition switch, so when the key is turned, they illuminate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amatthews45 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Yeah seen a lot of people do that I only want stuff to light up when needed can clearly see them in the day light anyway. Just waiting on the holder now to install them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
