Wiring for Gauges

Post by BMCC » Thu Mar 15, 2012 7:36 pm

Bought myself some prosport 45 MM gauges which I hope to install in place of the cd tray below the stereo (CF blanking plate supplied by Alex). Looking at the wiring diagram the gauges need 4 feeds (power side). These are:

1) Battery + (I am assuming this it a constant 12v feed)
2) Engine ground (should be fairly easy to find a ground)
3) Ignition switch 12V (a wire that is live when ignition on)
4) 12V dash lighting (a wire that is live when the dash lights are on)

I was hoping to use a combination of the stereo and accessory socket. I have the 5th gen manual but it looks like it is a yank version. So are the wire colours in this correct? If anyone else has done this how did you wire power to your gauges?

Cheers,

BMCC
