Default Tach install

Got a big tach for my little 1.5L, SOHC, '95 Civic (does not have a factory tach).
I know where to hook up the power and ground.

Where do I hook up the lighting wire? It says hook up to the instrument panel circuit. Where is that?

Most important, where do I hook up the tachometer signal wire?

Thanks.

automatic? i bet it has a nice big shift light on it too, huh? lol

hook up the light to ANY instrument panel light wire. not that hard to find. pull off the cluster (6 philips screws) and find a wire that turns on and off with the panel lights. tap into that. tach wire, idk. dont have time right now to look it up.

you can also just stick the wire into the parking light fuse in the fuse box.

j/k, seriously don't do that, lol

i went through this a while ago, had myself a big tach (what an eyesore). there should be a blue wire on the driver side in the engine bay right up close to the windshield. its a test wire, i tapped into that, blue or maybe blue with a white line, i had to cut like 5 wires before i figured it out. i think if you search you will find my old post on this, or someone elses. GL, you may get sick of it real fast. don't mean to rag on your purchase, but from experience i'd swap for an ex or si cluster
