Which wires??

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Got a r33gtst...

does anyone know which wires that come from the steering wheel coloum are the ones for the headlights??

i want to attach a guages power to it so when my lights are on so is it. Which colour are the wires etc...

Or what would be a better place to connect it. Since the power cable from it is shortish..i would have to extend it abit to reach alot futher.

Cheers Rob

splice into the wire for the cigarette lighter light.

Agree - I have always used a power tap from the cig lighter - easiest place to connect to.

any other ones??? since i rather not extend the cable from the boost gauge...too far...but if it comes to it i will...the bother is if i wanna take the console off in future i will have to unwire the boost gauage.

i could also try and hook it up the the dimmer switch for the dash...hhhhmmm but i want it to be as birght as possible..hhe

[Guest RedLineGTR]

With the compliance dimmer control..does it only ajust the dash with the speed and rpm etc..or does it ajust the other light buttons like hazard lights ac control lights etc.. can anyone help out

[rb25]

anything you hook up to the dimmer will do just that, dim....

[Guest RedLineGTR]

what about the dimmer control dose it only do the dash or the other item on the interior....like a/c control and buttons..

There should be a wire going to the potentiometer on the dimmer that will read +12V as soon as you flick the lights on. I think this is where i spliced my boost guage into.

Multimeter is your friend, even a cheap one for 10 bucks will do enough to let you know whats going on.

Actually i spliced mine into the wire that runs to the audible buzzer just near the fuse box. This buzzer sounds when you leave the lights on.

just hook it on the back of the cluster, find the light gobes that light it up and solder u r wire on the printed circuit it will have power on when u have u r lights on and it will dim with the lights as well .

[Craved]

i put all mine onto the dimmer wire and bypassed the dimmer, therefor they will never be dim!!!

nice and close to the guages!!

done and done...

I believe it should only dim the backlights. Any warning or indication lights should be unaffected ie indicators, handbrake, etc

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Thanks for that.
