    Wired mine up all from the dimmer switch so you can still adjust the brightness of light for the gauges .
    The price of excellence is dicipline , the cost of mediocrity is dissapointment .

    Yep, mine is also wired into the Dimmer switch.
    But my gauges start to flicker when I dimmer is really low.

    Hey there
    IF you have any factory switches in your dash and they light up, you can tap of the light wire there I guess, Use a multimeter or test light to make it a bit easier
