Aftermarkey gauge lighting Q?
Alas! I dont know what to tap my light wire into. Its a greddy so Ive got constant, ignition, and ground all set up but I need help locating a 12v light source. What did you guys do?

Thanks in advance,
Dave.

Splice into the light for the ashtray. Then they will dim with the stock lighting.

I heard that then you had to tap into the negative and my greddy shares its negative with everything else. Ill give it a try. Thankyou.

So the ashtray light worked fine for wiring just my greddy light source to it and not my negative with no dimmer shenanigans. Thankyou DamonB.
