Evening guys, I'm installing boost/pyro gauges in the A pillar, have used the dimmer switch for gauge light power( blue and black stripe wire and pink for earth) and the lights work fine, I need acc power for the pyro gauge is there an easy place to find it? As in locally behind the dash? There are a million wires back there and I'm to lazy to search! Thanks in advance

Easiest is probably to use a piggyback fuse holder & take the power from an accessory fuse.

Hard to work with wires under the dash. Easier to pull the radio out and find power from there.

Accessory socket is also a good supply that's relatively easy to get to.
Used to be called cigarette / cigar lighter, when did that change? LOL
Interesting find Cuppa

Cigarette lighter is what we use when installing 2 way radios (we actually use it to switch a relay direct from battery).
