Can some one help me on this one.
I have got some new Speedo gauge panels from www.visual-performance.co.uk and to wire them up you need to locate the Live Electrical Wire for the Instrument lights (Red Wire) and also need to locate a earth or netrual connection (Black Wire) I have taken a picture of the guage panel if some could point out the correct wires.

Gosh, I forgot which one was it and I took my gauges out the other day.
But it's easy, turn your parking lights on so the speedo lights up and start disconnecting the plugs. Start with the one that is on the left, then the blue one(as seen on the picture). Then after you figure out which one it is, take a multimeter and touch one of the leads to ground(you took the gauges out, behind them are reinforcing bars that should have ground. Then start checking each pin for the 12V.
