Digital Gauges

[ch1mp]

I just bought 3 gauges for my car. They are Drift gauges and are...almost 100% digital lol. I don't have a problem installing them the dodgy way by hijacking the battery wire from the head unit for the power, and to the accessory wire. but i don't like to do things the dodgy way..what i would like to know is how hard it would be to run the power through the fuse box under the steering wheel. if that's at all possible. i already know how to take it out, so that's one step down lol. the gauges all come with their own fuses. so ye i just want everything to be neat and tidy and done properly without having to pay someone to do it lol.
any help is appreciated
cheers

go crazy with a test light. Find a acc line and put the earths onto a screw with ring terminals. Basically -->


- Link all 3 positive wires (for the back lights) to the parker light switch (or fog light switch) either way
- Link all 3 negative wires (for the back lights) to an earth point where ever you want

- Link all 3 power wires (for gauge power) to an acc line be it cigarette lighter loom or ignition switch etc
- Link all 3 megative power wires (for gauge power) to an earth where ever you want

- Link your sender lines to your water temp. voltage, oil whatever they are

( i work for Strathfield and install accessories like gauges every day)

I thought about going for those gauges, but ended up getting a pair of aeroforce gauges for my VT.

also i need to find a hole in the firewall. any hints? i know there's one under the brake booster but that's gonna be a pain in the a** to get to. any easier ones or is it safe enough to drill my own hole somewhere?

you could push it through where the vacuum line goes through the fire wall. i used it for my boost line or theres a bigger black bung on the left hand side behide the strut tower
