need help on tach wiring...(searched)
I am wiring an aftermarket tach on my 98 ek hatch as we speak ...... but i have a few questions....can i wire the tach illumination wire directly to my dimmer? if so, which wire= there is a black ground wire and two red wires: one solid red wire and one red wire with a black stripe....so which one do i tap into?.....also, can i splice the power wire into my power wire for my cd head unit or is this not good to do?.....thanks

The solid red one for the tach illumination, it'll also let you dim your tach with the whole instrument cluster. Worked for my indiglo gauges. about tapping into the power from your cd head unit I have no clue, I wouldn't though.
