What do you need and how do you plug a wire into the fusebox? I'm trying to hook my guage bulb into my headlight fuse but I'm not sure how to go about connecting a wire to a fuse.....

Anyone know how to do this? Easy question. I have everything else hooked up. I just need lights so I can get my car on the streets.

This is a hack, but you can go to radio shack and get fuse taps. These are metal terminals that you attach to the two blades of a fuse.

It's fairly self explanitory, but I would also add an inline fuse for those gauge lights, you don't want to have an electrical fire in your dash.

For a little more money you could get something like this:

That is a little bit more elegant, but it does the same thing

Thanks for the response! I ended up just tapping into the power to the clock pod. I'm all set now.
