Suggestions For Wiring Up All Gauges To One Switch.

[FireFly 4]

Currently have a boost gauge and about to fit a volt gauge (after the drama with the alternator I thought it wouldn't hurt to install one seeing as it only cost £5!

 

In the future I might put in oil/water/egt gauges but for now just want to wire all the back lights up to one switch.

 

What would be a good wire to T off of? I'd imagine the side light/main beam has a wire somewhere I could join to without the need of having a switch.

 

However I want the option for turning the back lights off at night as there very bright blue and it can be distracting!

 

In this case I imagine that there is an ignition live or something I could use to join a cable to which will run to a switch then all the gauges.

 

If anyone does have advice on where to wire to please state exactly where it is and what colour it is or even add a photo!

Many thanks.

get the reohstat?? from the gti so you can dim them with the dials. or get a different gauge that isnt bright blue.

Most gauges have a wire that connects into a lighting circuit so that they dim at night when you turn the headlights on.
