B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Splice in to the wire to the light behind the heater controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rian Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Here is a diagram of the KE70 headlight wiring: http://www.rollaclub...eadlight_Wiring I'd say it's easiest to go through the wiring under the steering column with a test light. Edit: or do what Reed said, as long as you don't pull too many amps it should be sweet. Edited January 7, 2013 by rian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's_AUDM_Yo Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) I spliced into a wire that plugs into the dash cluster that does the dash lights as I know that would never blow the gauges. It was in the middle plug but I can't remember the colour. Edited January 7, 2013 by It's_AUDM_Yo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madKE35coupe Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 the way i do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towe001 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I normally run it off the dimmer switch. No ground just start from the dimmer switch to the gauge light and then back to the other wire on the dimmer switch. As i found when i had the ae82. One wire from the dash lights to the gauge to ground - either the gauge light would be full bright or off or the dash lights would be off and gauge full bright (vise verse). If the gauge light works the opposite then swap the gauge wires around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
