Question

Hi all,
I have fitted an STI Lamco boost gauge to me scoob, but just wondering what to do with the yellow and black cables .
I know these are for the backlight, but where's the best place to scotchlock these babies in? and do I assume that the black is Negative and Yellow is Positive????????

Cheers, Jacko

The little white junction box (with 2 wires, behind the radio) could be used for the dial-lights. I don't know where it normally is used for, but after switching on the lights it will give power.
I used this junction box for my gauges on the dash.

Depending on how close it is you could also wire to your fog light switch. Your yellow wire to the purple cable on the switch (there are two but they both power on when the lights are switched on) and the black to the black.
