    Just a few questions, one I have an auto meter volt gauge. Where is a good place to tap into for true reading? And also where can a get power source that is on the dimmer switch for lighting. And what do you guys think of gauges in the area in front of shifter, I'm putting two right there

    I would use the alternator to get the best reading.

    I wouldn't run a dimmer. Its just a gauge, it shouldn't be overwhelmingly bright as it is.

    For a volt gauge, that location is fine. If it was an important gauge, I would put it in a pillar pod.

    Yes I did end up running dimmer just so I could dim it if I wanted. I have a blue led interior for gauges and everything else so I just did it. And waiting for my arriviste and HUD pod so I can install next along with boost gauge
