electronic gauge- where to splice power from?

[don0xer]

Just got a drift boost gauge, ive conneced it all up ect. except the power for the illumination. On the instructions it sais connect red to ignition switch, black to a ground wire, and white to the dimmer/headlights?

Ive got little idea what its on about, but can i just run the red wire to the positive of my cig lighter, and the black to the negative? and just disregard the white one ?

There are dimmer wires that run to the cig lighter any other places, im not sure of the colour on VT/VX but ino my vp's one is brown with white trace.

Have a look for a h/u install insrtuctions, u will find wat colour the wire is that u need for the guage to light up properly.

Ok just went and found a link for it, seems there the same colour.
Brown/white= illumination wire

VK-VZ Stereo wiring colours.

Just ended up splicing the cig lighter wires, its working all good now, except the wires they gave me with the gauge are a bit on the short side (20cm). I originally wanted to mount it inside my cluster on the left side around where the temp gauge is. I'll keep fiddling around with the wires till i can get it right. Thanks for the help guys
