Reply With Quotetap into the dimmer switch, just tap the power and ground from there before it, tap the power on the input side, not the output side because u dont want the dimmer to control ur overlays
Ok, so I'm installing a set of gauge overlays and I'm trying to find a place to tap into power. I've read on more then a few threads to tap into the green/white wire in the fuse box for power as that is the parking light. the problem is there are 6 different green/white wires going into the fuse panel. I've attached a pic. Can someone please tell me which on it is? Thank guys!

This won't cause an issue with the brightness of the gauges? I read in a couple of other threads that people's gauges were dim when they tapped into power at places other then the running lights?Originally Posted by QnzMostWanted
And the green/white wire going into the dimmer switch is the input power side, right?

i beleive so, use a test light before u tap teh wrong wire
make sure u do it BEFORE the dimmer controls and u wont have any issues
Thanks. That worked perfectly!
I wish the blue was a little darker but for $23 shipped I can't complain.
Which overlays are those? That looks nice, very nice actually.

They're made by a company called Otto Alfa. I got them on ebay from a seller named "ottonavi0501". They're regularly $28.99 shipped but they were on price reduce when I bought them. They were the least expensive and I think the best looking by far. They look amazing in person. You would never know they weren't installed in the factory.
The seller has another set for sale right now for $24.64 shipped. Here's the link.
