I know how to remove the headlight switch but I'm unsure which wires I should tap into so the gauge lighting will work with the rest of the instrument cluster. Any help or advice would be appreciated.


Thanks,

use the stereo cable for pos+ power, ground from underneath of the top centre tray on the dash.
and illum i use the cable from ciga light. remove the two screw and lift the centre plastic panel up to gain access to the cables.
