So, on a seperate note, I went searching for the wire for switched power... I found the bundle of 4 (or 5 can't remember) wires up to the right hand side of the steering column. Pulled them out from the other bundle and they were already labled for the 10A Fuse in the fuse panel. Not sure what the other 3 are for though... I tested all of them and only get one that has power when the key is on, tried lights everything, can't seem to make any of the others hot... (There is a Blue, Red, Black) and none seem to do anything... Any ideas?

Sounds like you got the bad deal. I purchased mine from ITP already wired and painted. I had no problems hooking mine up. Maybe you got a bad mold.

The best place to obtain power for your gauges IMO is under your dash to the right, right behind the fuse access panel cover. It is a red wire with yellow tracer that is hooked into a black plug. I have all my gauges hooked up here.


Heres a picture from diesel manor i found to give you an idea

Is the ITP DIY kit pre assembled or does that cost more?
