Help wiring silver gauge faces!

A few of us are having difficulties wiring in the Silver gauge faces from SR Motorsports into the electrical system.

MY problem lies in where am i suppose to "tap into the parking lights control box", so that when i turn on the parking/driving lights, they turn on with the rest of the dash? Where are these wires located??

Thanks

Geoff

Nice new avator .

Sorry to hear about the broken pieces...I have an 84 GSL that should be the same that you can have parts from...Yes...I said HAVE. If you want me to try and pull them without braking them...I will the next time Im down there. Then, I can let you know what I got, and you can have what you want. Im not sure where Pullman is, but the parts ore down south in Maple Valley (Ravensdale actually). So if your down that way, we may be able to meet up and I can just give them to you to save the shipping .

I looked around and dug up an old pic of the cluster...Its just dirty, but nothings broke, that I know of anyway. The gauges all work (I think) as I drove the car to where its sitting before I started taking parts off of it. Also, I think I have an idea of how to get power from the lights...I did it in my friend Miata when I put his gauges in (that was a BITCH!). I dont know what the back of the RX-7 gauges look like though, so Ill let you know after I take it apart.

Hm the one thing i really need is that clear lens in the front, and that one looks pretty scratched up.

I'm goign to say **** it for the circuit board, those circuits only control the stock gauge lights (Which i dont use any more anyways).

EDIT: If youre talking about those "scratch looking things" up by the top of the cluster, Im pretty sure those are just spider webs, lol...Its a parts car, what can I say
