Default Indiglo Gauge Install

I put in my ac autotechnic gauges and i have been looking up info on honda tech to power the gauges, but i can't find a concrete answer. What is the quickest and easiest way to power the gauges safely and have no future problem. The instructions are vague, something about the parking light. Please help!

I have heard of people tapping into the fuse for the parking lights under the dash, that way when you turn on the lights, blamo, indiglo gauges.

BY Burning them!!!!!

if u look on ur fuse box under the dash u will see 6 spade connectors in a row with nothing in them. i believe its the 2nd or 3rd one (going right to left) its a ouput that will send a signal when u turn your lights on.

- Go to any local hardware store

- Buy a spade connector

- Put the spade connector onto the wire that needs power for the gauges

- Plug connector into empty slots in fuse box

Thanks I just want to know one thing, what does a spade connector look like and where are they located on my fuse box, or the slots are located? I'm sorry if that sounds stupid, i never did this before, i need to learn.

Hey, ok i found connectors for the spade fuse. I take it you need a female spade connector right? I also found 5 outlets not 6. Does that seem like the right place? It's right below the fuses themselves

before u plug into ur fuse box make sure it is the one that only works when ur lights r on. just get a voltmeter and test it. it shouldn't read when u turn on the engine, only when u turn on the lights. and the connecters on the fuse r above the colored plugs. u'll c a buch of different coloured plugs with nimbers on em and stuff, just above those u'll c them, i don't know how to explain what they look like though.

well, what i saw was below the fuses towards the floor, that there are five of them and have numbers on them and they are grey like the rest of the panel. I see the colored fuses and all kinds of things below them going towards the floor
