Great, i already have the 12v key-on from SJB. What i can't find is the wire that turns the parking/headlights on so i'm going to tap into "1401" and see if that works. Thank you.
I am putting the gauges in the middle of the dashboard, right above the radio.Idk where you are putting your gauges, but on mine, I tied into a wire on the back of the radio, I believe.
Where do I find the Shelby instructions?It should be a purple wire behind the headlight switch. Follow the Shelby instructions to tap into there
Should be able to probe the wires going to the radio and other buttons on the center stack with a test light and find what you need.I am putting the gauges in the middle of the dashboard, right above the radio.

I can't say for certain which I used, but the wire certainly came from the center stack. Been working fine for over a year.you don’t wanna tap from the radio. Use the source of the headlight switch. Google around
Just a note that the lights in the gauges should come on as soon as the gauge is powered (i.e. as soon as you turn the key on. That's your 12v/switched power). The dimmer/parking lights wire dims the gauge lights for night time use when you turn the parking/head lights on. I would use the parking lights. When I have a change I'll go out to my car and take a picture of the exact wire to tap in to and get it back to you.
Thank you, the gauges are Auto Meter, oil pres, temp, and vacuum. The lights are separate, just a socket with a light bulb (led) and two wires blk/ground and wht/light. The gauges all work just the lights won't come on, very frustrating.
LED black wire to ground, LED white wire to Black with the White tracer (stripe) wire from behind headlight switch left of the steering wheel.
