Red=Battery (I think this one moves the needle so hook it up straight to the battery or some other thing)
White=Switch (This lights up the tach so hook it up to your lights or a switch that you turn on)
Green=Distributor
^^With this one, I actually spliced into the green wire in the back of the OEM tachometer. I have a 4th gen Prelude though. You might be able to find out what color wire it is by looking in some kind of wire diagram or a Helms manual.
