Did you get the one that only goes to 30psi...? if so ditch it haha. That thing was a pain in my A$$ to install.

If it is mechanical...is it just power and ground along with vacuum tubing?

Oh and I assume "headlight" as well?

Where did you mount it?

Fuses? If you mounted on A pillar: light and power are in that bundle beneath the plastic interior piece. You can tap in there. I just forget what color goes with what is what.

Also if you plan on doing more diy: invest in one of those circuit testers...kinda stabs into the wire and lets you know if there is current (lights up)....very simple. But works great.

If you are oc I could show you some time.

Read the instructions...just tap into a power source and your headlight source so it will change color and then the ground is well obvious!

lemme take apart my dash tomorrow after work and will take a look at it. Your power source is anything that turns on when the car does and shuts off when the car does. Light source I just taped into my headlight switch so when i have my lights off the gauge is white and when they are on its blue.

I used the wire harness from the radio and found a spot for ground and that worked

You can but I would run an inline fuse so it's quicker to get to and doesn't cause whatever you tap into to stop working. I will get that picture up after work.
