Ok, i just order my volt gauge this afternoon. I am not worried because its an esay gauge to setup.. however where is the hole in the firewall that i need to run the wire through? If anyone has a picture of where it is and a little step by step on how to get there it would be awesome.
Thanks guys. -Chris. -------------------- "Drive Well...

Yeah, the add-a-fuse things. I already have one set up for my LED lights on the inside.
But i will need to run the yellow wire to my battery correct? -------------------- "Drive Well...

according to the manufactures directions, it requires a constant positive(+) feed. Any constant source of positive(+) energy will do fine. Make sure you add an inline fuse for added security. You can find Constant source's of energy located in your power door locks, ignition, interior lights, ect. The battery is the most common option.
