so i'm not the most advanced when it comes to wiring, but i can get the job done, i just need to know where/ which wire is the one for the parking lights that i'm supposed to wire these bad boys up to and where to groudn it. right now i wired it to my 'courtesy lights' as one guy called them so my gauges turn on when the door is open and thats it lol, doesnt do too much good..if anyone has a picture around that'd be sweet
and for anyone that has them... how did you get yours to stay flat? my speedo one keeps popping up so the needle get stuck... blah . any help would be much appreciated. thanks alot -Tony

you should be able to find the right wire to tap into at the dimmer switch (knob), test with a meter or a light to find the right wire. It's very easy to access, just pull out the trim that the dimmer knob is attached to. It's all snap on.

well actually i got it working, i wired the 'hot' wire to my parking light fuse and i grounded it on some clip that holds the plastic piece in place thatgoes over your fuses ( horrible place but im tired of not having lights)
but yea thanks anyways man, i was told the dimmer might mess it up cause its not supposed to run 12V through it.

if you decide to spend some time to install them a lil better, it's fine to tap in at the dimmer. As long as it's before the dimmer circuit. I can't remember exactly the color code of the wire but it's very easy to find, it's a wire that comes to 12+ volts with the lights on and the voltage doesn't budge when you turn the knob.
