plz help...wiring problem

Postby xx1717 » Tue May 30, 2006 2:09 pm

I want to install reverse glow gauges in my celica st202. I have a trouble to find the parking light power or head light power, or parking light fuse near the kick panel at driver side. Can some body tell me where can I find one of them? Thanks
One more question, can some body suggest a good chassis ground near gauge coloum?

Could you not just remove the existing bulbs then hook the gauges to the bulb contacts? Provided they don't draw enough current to blow the fuse.

I hooked mine up by pulling out the spedocluster thing and just finding the positive for the dash lights... then wiring them into there and with a ground straight to the chassis... works for me... no blown fuses yet!

thank you guys, I don't have any experience on wiring except install car stereo.

Sideros can you tell me if there is a easy way to find the power for the gauges?And where is "chassis"?

Another difficult thing for me is I can't slide the gauge into the spedometers, how did you do this?

the cars 'body'. Find a screw that goes through the body and wire it to that.
