I could be wrong... BUT

check the firewall right in front of the driver side, behind the shock tower. Look for ablue wire, with blue tape on it. This wire is the signal for the tach.

As for the 12v lighting power, tap into your dimmer switch by the steering wheel or the port on the fusebox

For the 12v ignition, you can either turn to the fusebox again, or right to the ignition.

Ground is a nice clean unpainted part of the body.

thanks


here is a pic I just made. The fat white wire is for your 12v+ lights, and the red is for your 12v+ ignition... Just slap a female spade connector on the end of the wire, crimp it down, and plug it in! honda rules.
