ive just got myself a set of gauges and a triple pod the put in the cubby hole on my00 but want to check the wiring befor ei put it all in is this the best way to do it by using the hazard switch wiring as i need 4 wires which are
red (12v ignition switch)
white(battery +)
Green (12v dash lighting)
black (earth)

on the hazard switch ive found there is
Black (earth)
purple (which seems to become live when the lights are turned on)
black/green (which seems the become live when the ignition is on)
white (which seems to be permant live)

would this be the best way of wiring them in
what other ways would there be to do it
any help would be great
cheers

I've wired mine in to the sterio mate. Not sure if thats a good one either but all the wires are there and it very easy.

I used the wires on the back of the lighter for mine as you have an ignition live, a dash light and an earth. Then just used the stereo wiring for the constant 12V.
