Top view of the gauge pods. Routing the wiring very cleanly and making sure to not pinch or otherwise is a bit of a task but worthy of the time to do it right.

If you're looking to get a source for the lighting in your gauges it can be found at the "foot well" module. You want the BLUE 16g wire that is located in the loom closest to the floor. I disassembled the wiring harness lock to get easier access and then soldered my lead wire to this and then covered it in heat-shrink.

The wires now come out from behind the dash for a much cleaner look. Should have replaced that white 1/8" audio cord with a black one. Hmmm... maybe I still will.

Cover installed, wiring routed with existing wires and zip tied into place. Ideally I would have used wire loom to protect the wire but with no moving parts and a secure mount this should be fine. The portion in the engine bay will have split loom.

Soft bend to keep from kinking, plus the excess line will move with the engine under hard acceleration. Rubber grommet in the plastic liner to reduce the likelihood of wear on the semi-rigid tubing.
