gauge install wiring question

[Coheed]

Alright after getting the new white-faced gauges on, I have determined this to be the most annoying mod I have ever attempted on my car. I THINK i have the faces on properly and hopefully i'll turn the car on and get at least 2 needles working.... but anywhooo... need to know what wires to splice the 12v and ground wire to for the new gauges. Also Where are these wires and how do i get to them? Please help with any info ASAP. I cannot stare at my gauge cluster sitting on my steering wheel any longer.... thanks!

Trace the two wires coming back from your dimmer switch/knob...

The black one (may be striped) is ground. The blue one (may be striped) should be the 12v power on the dimmer track. This way, the gauges are only lit when the dash lights are on - otherwise the Indiglo actually makes the numbers harder to read in the day. Just drop the little transformer and wires down the left side beside the cluster, down to below the dash. Then hook it up under there near the dimmer switch. It may be a pain to get to - but just try using vampire taps rather than soldering.
