Gauge Lighting Problem
Let me just say, I've installed glow style gauges on cars before (Ford Ranger's to be exact) so I know what's supposed to happen.
I'm installing some gauges into my girl's little bro's 96 Civic Hatchback and I cannot find a suitable power supply to turn the gauges on when the lights go on. It was easy on my Ranger and my girl's Ranger (the book I had spelled it out!). I was wondering what wire anyone who has possibly done this in the past has used?

Inside the gauge cluster, you should find a red/black wire that is with one of the plugs. That is your parking light (12v Acc) wire. Tap into that. And of course, your ground wire is BLACK.
