So i just ordered two glowshift gauges and a lotek a pillar pod. The gauges came yesterday and i was reading the directions when i cam across a step calling on a 12v ignition wire. Im guessing that wire loses power when you turn the car off but i dont know where the best place to wire it into would be.

Basically 12v ignition wire, where is it and where to splice?

Also one of the lights on my rpms went out and I really want to just replace all the cluster bulbs with the whitest bulb possible. Where can i find these bulbs??



Thanks!

for my gauges (i have 1 glowshift/2 autometer) i spliced into the ignition wire that hooks into the radio. neat trick also, for ones that need lit up when the headlights come on, i spliced into the dimmer wire going to the back of the radio. all this is, is a wire that gets power when the lights are turned on, and the radio reads that as "dim". don't do that with the glowshift 7 color gauges though, as not having it hooked up like the instructions say causes you to have to pick a new color every time. those have LEDs in them, so it's not a big deal to run all the time. unless you have no problem changing the color every time you turn the lights on. if you have any questions, lmk. oh, and my install was a DIN pod install, so it was a little easier to co-locate the wiring than it will be with your lotek pillar pod.

culpable04 is selling them on here, just find his sale thread. they are 194 bulbs.
