I'm currently fitting a Phantom boost gauge and a-pillar pod to my MY00. Obviously I need power for the backlighting. Where is the best place to pick up power from? I've seen the fuse box and its stuffed with wires - which one do I need??? Colour of wire would be really handy!

Thanks,

Mark

Pick it up from the purple wire with silver dots that feeds the illumination for the fog light switch. Easy to get to, three screws underneath and drop the dash.

I went for a positive feed from the illumination for the cigarette lighter and the 0v from a bolt in the metalwork.

Thanks for the help guys. I've ended up going from the illumination feed for the rear fog light switch. So far so good.

Cheers,

Mark.
