you should hook the wire to light the guage to your headlight fuse. i did that for my friend's guages.

All you have to do is tap into one of the original digital clock wires. One of the wires should be hooked up to the dimming interior light circuit. Just probe with a test light to find the right one.

I just did an autometer fuel pressure gauge in the clock pod over the weekend so it's still fresh in my head.(kinda) I used the light blue wire w/ a red stripe) from the clock for the dimmer. The ground is easy.
* light blue w/ red stripe = dimmer
* red wire on the right side instrument cluster wiring harness =12v power wire
* black=ground
