ok. i am installing a boost gauge in my itr. i need to find a place to connect the illumination wire for the gauge. is there a convenient place in the fusebox to do so? i seem to remember that in the 5G civic that there was. if so, then all i would have to do is connect a spade connector to the wire and insert it into the appropriate free slot in the under-dash fuse box and voila, sanitary illumination wire installation. anyone find out if that is the case? i am currently a bit too lazy to use my DMM and go looking for it and thought maybe someone who has done this could give me the correct and convenient place to hook it up. thanks!!!

 

the ignition wire should be sufficient. How abuot the dimmer wires?

 

not quite sure what you mean by "the ignition wire should be sufficient. How abuot the dimmer wires?" but i am looking for the dimmer or a lights-on connection so i cn have the boost gauge illuminate and dim with the dash lights.

 

I spliced into a dash light. Keeps the wires from showing. Have a helms to know exactly which wire, i can not remember.

 

let me try and find out what color the wire is on the dimmer. Can you read Scematics?

 

forget it. just gonna use the free option connector #2 in the fuse box. light won't dim, but will turn on with lights and keep a factry look
