There will be two wires coming off the LED...wire one to the frame around the cluster (ground), and the other to pin B12 coming off of the ECU (VTC)

Hatch It

or you can just go under your hood, locate your vtec solenoid, splie into the black wire that comes directly off of the vtec solenoid, and wire it to the led, that will be the positive wire, then just take another wire and ground it to the body of the car or at any ground you can find, and thats it.....

mine worked fine when i did that, wire it through your firewall

make sure its a 12 volt led... otherwise it wont last long.

Hatch It

that too, or it will get real hot, i dont think 12V leds blwo though but whatever, have fun wiht it, i sure did

jbell

well, after adding a led here or there to my computer, i can tell you that a non-12v led on a 12v source does one of two things.

glows really bright for a second, and then turns brown, and starts smoking and smells bad

or

the plastic head gooes boom.
