Anyone know of a good wire to hook up the gauge light to? So that the gaige light turns on only when the dash light turn on? i have had no luck searching. Thanks.

Under the panel where the active handling button is there is a brown wire that goes to the button...that wire lights up when the headlights come on. Hope this helps

You can also get a wire from under your column, it will connect to your light switch.

Go thru behind the passenger (floor) fuse compartment into the battery well...that's where we ran mine.

It' just above the dead pedal, follow the cable from the hood release handle.
