Quick gauge install question

Instructions say to attach the red wire to any fused, keyed 12V source. What is the easiest place to attach to?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Go to diesel manor and check out there (edit - their, my bad) directions. Look to your left, they are on the sponsor list. If you look at those you will NEVER have to ask a ? about gauge install. They are freakin awesome!

Are you connecting the wire for lights or is it a key-on power source? Depending on the gauge, you might need to tap 2 different power sources.
