so I have some aftermarket reverse glow gauges for my gauge cluster, along with a boost gauge and an A/F gauge in my pillar pod. I have two seperate questions, so here goes:

1. What's the best way to wire the power to the gauges so that they don't flicker with the turn signals?

2. My gauge face has a seperate power switch for some reason, and they don't always light up when I turn the ignition on. Is there some way to bypass this switch so that they always light up when the ignition gets turned on?
 
I'm bumping this thread because it's been 2 days now and nobody has replied. Are these not legitimate questions? If anybody has a guess, that would be better than nothing, I just want some advice.
 
First of all the best thing to do if you want to get constant power to your gauges is run your power/red wire to your cigarette lighther lighter light which you can tap the green wire thats the power source to the cigarette lighter light:dsm:
 
Pull off the carpet panel at the front end of your center console (driver's side of course). Forget what the wire color was but there are only 2 there I believe. Zip tie the wire underneath the dash, and then splice it in down behind the carpet panel.
