I am starting to install my gauges. I would like to know where to tap in to a switched power and the one for the lights, I want to be able to dim them. I heard that i could tap in to fuse #5 and #13. Is this correct?

For the guage dim I tapped into the wire at the switch, just used a test light to get the right one, for key on power use the cig lighter, Of course I did this some 15 Months ago!<br><br>Jim

yep, tap #5 to get the lights to dim... ;D also, you can splice into the wire at the ashtray if you want (some guys have done that as well)<br><br>Tony

I went to Radio Shack and bought a pack of fuse taps, and modified two to tap into the dimmer switch and key-on power supplies. The taps had to be shaved a bit to fit, but they seem to work fine.

I tried the add a circut and was not happy with that, So i just taped in to the ash try light for the light's and the cigarette lighter for the switched power. Just should of done that in the first place.

I was sent fuse taps with my guages they worked and were real easy to put in. One fuse was labeled &quot;ILL&quot; for the illumination of the dash lights and the other was &quot;ign&quot; I think. Use a light to test - I removed the fuses and found that the bottom was the incoming line and the top was the out going side - so I put the fuse taps on top so that the guages were fused.
