Re: boost gauge wiring 2g
Thats a good write up, but why did he run the 12v wire all the way down beside the seat. I tapped into the wire behind my gauges, or you could use the dimmer switch and it would be a much shorter wire.

Re: boost gauge wiring 2g
I think the dimmer switch idea is the best, because then you can fade your gauges in and out with the rest of the interior, as for why he used the taillight wire, I have no idea.
If you want to tap into the dimmer switch, read here. http://www.vfaq.com/mods/gaugelit.html

Re: boost gauge wiring 2g
For the most part. The only problem is that the gauges use led lights so they wont dim very much. On the plus side thats less current drawn by the gauge so you dont have to worry about over loading the circuit.

Re: boost gauge wiring 2g
I say fuck the dimmer switch, how often do you use it? I'm still going to do it that way, but I think its retarded that there is even one.
