BenKey Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 KNEW THAT! Just wondered why you needed it. Going turbo? Although I've heard once someone doing, non-turbo, never saw the need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeefTip Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Can you tap into the dimmer on the fuse box, thats what we were going to do on my friends truck but we gave up on that in five minutes. I dont know if you can do it this way , but i was looking at the fuse box list of which fuses might be related to the gauge lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 which wire? what color was it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You really shouldn't be doing any wiring wihout a meter, but that's just me. A basic cheapo meter cost about $10 at Sears. A lot of those wires are the same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
