Ok. So here i have a small list of issues/questions i need help with.

All input as well as opinions will be taken into consideration and put to use.

Problem #1
I was driving the car just fine. Parked it, went back out to drive it home.....and now my running lamps, license plate lamps, and interior night time lights (ie* gauges, ac/heat controls and such) are no longer illuminated with the headlights on. Now, i pulled the relay to the "lamps" and it clicks when plugged in, and i have switched it with about 4 other relays. So i ruled that out. I checked out all the fuses and replaced to be careful. Still nothing.

Help needed haha.

Question #1
I bought an oil pressure gauge. It came with an stainless oil line and fitting. I was wondering where you guys tap for these things. like maybe the most common/ easiest spots. So i can get it installed.

I have done some searching and came up with a thousand things. Some direct input would be great.

As well as pictures of said tapping for the oil pressure.

So the dimmer switch on these cars can cause the running lamps and gauges to go out?

Yea on the 2g dsm they do. Wiring on these cars suck. the dimmer switch is connected to the interior lights. gauges and tail lights so if the switch goes bad none of them work. pm if you want the switch
