Help installing glow gagues

I got everything in right now and i dont know where too hook up the power for the inverter, any help would be nice.

I got it hooked up to an external power source and it works great but i cant find where i need to hook it up to the cars electrical system.

Use a test light and find a wire that is hot when the lights are on only. I recomend the ash tray light. That's what I used for all my lighting. Check out my home page and you will see just how much lighing I added.

I just ran it too the corner lamp next to my left headlight. That way I didn't have to mess with taking out the center dash again.

Yea, you could do that but taking the dash appart on a 2nd gen is really easy. I can get it appart in about 5 minutes now since I'v done it a bunch. Just need a philus and a 10 mil. sockett.

I did what chuckd did. It was probably a little bit more work, but It's easy to take out and you don't have to "T" into anything.

It only took a second to do, the hard part was pulling on my twisted-ass brush guard to get room enough to slide the light out a bit.
Third gen center dashes are easy too. I took mine out to change defrost button blue and put a red led behind my defrost yesterday. i've had it out so many times I am just tired of doing it. Sucks that it has to come out at least once more to finish the lights.
