You could get it right at the ignition switch, or, I found one in this fuse block that's in the cabin by my left foot. You have to take the black plastic cover off, and in the lower right corner, there's a spot where it looks like a relay or something should go (you might have the option that uses that relay and not be able to take advantage of it like I did). Well, I tested some of the pins there for a couple different installs, and found one pin to have constant 12v, and another to have power in crank and run. I used that (crank and run) as the power source for my auto-dimming rear view mirror.

On another note...does anyone make pod/bezels like that for G-Tech Pro meters? Something that would allow you to keep it there permanently, but still be able to pop the meter out to use it in other cars and download info into your computer?

Thanks, I used the instrument panel for my wire taps on the overhead gauges.
The dash mounted gauges will get a seperate source and harness.

thanks again bro

Well, all thats left is to run 3 lengths of wire down the passenger side for the switches taking a break today.

I ended up taking most of the dash apart to route my wiring harness along a factory harness.

Probably an hour of work left.

Best Part! the lights on the round rocker switces that indicate "ON" are green just like the digital readout on the Nordskog gauges, woohoo!
