N00b autometer lightbulb wiring?
Hello All,
When it comes to wiring, I'm not really confident on what to do. I currently have two mechanical autometer gauges on my steering column. All I need to do now is get the lightbulbs working.
I need to find a good 12V source and ground near the steering column. I was thinking about hooking them up to the dimmer switch? Would that be the best spot? I don't really care about dimming because I have my cluster at full light anyways so it could be a different spot if it would be easier/better. And then, where is a good place to ground the lights?
Also, just so I have this correct..I need to cut the 12V source I'm going to use, with a splice connector put the two lightbulb positive wires(after crimped and extended) + the original cut 12V source wire into the splice connector and crimp this on to the one 12V source. In other words, 2 wires going to 1. And then crimp the two ground wires for the lightbulbs together and run a ring connector to a screw on the chassis somewhere. Is that pretty much correct?
Thanks!
