Gauge Install Questions

Im looking to install Dipricol gauges myself just cause they wanted $400 for someone to put them in for me. I understand most of it but i am kinda confused on the wiring part. (hooking into the dimmer and ignition) does anyone know the colored wire that i have to tap into for the 1997 model. Any pics would be helpful. Also how do i get my light switch out for find the wire behind it?

Thanks for the help guys.

Dont need to pull the switch or tap into a wire. Use a fuse tap like in these instructions. easy and no cutting.

For my 3 gauges and pillar mount I paid $275 (ultra lites)...I paid a friend with a shop $100 to help me install. $400 seems fair.

Cool thanks alot guys. I didnt know you could tap into the fuses with it. Also one more question. What do you guys thinks the best spot for the pyro gauge to hook into. I have heard the downpipe is good but then to hook into the pipe that goes into the turbo. Any ideas?

Thanks again.

Always PRE-TURBO in the manifold.
