I am planning using a live from my clock ; want the gauge to light up when I put my lights on. But I still want my clock light wired using the same live wire.Can I just cut a live to the clock bulb and wire in my gauges 12v bulb? I plan to extend the wires, solder and heat shrink any of the bare wires. Is it possible? And is it safe?  Thanks ________________________________________ TEAM HIGH BOOST SUPERCHARGED RALLYEMy Rallye project thread |

if your gauge is on A-pillar, just wire up via instrument lights resistor. Unless you're wanting gauge to be illuminated all the time, other wise just use radio 12v+ ignition supply________________________________________ 306 rallye, Richard Longman enginerc10gt |

yeh seems like people have been having that issue dave, got it fineRallye doesnt have dimmer switch shouldnt be too easy to get one, pretty sure i seen the empty plug in dash (which my other 306 uses) my gauge is replacing my RH centre console vent only want it on when i need it so if i could get it on with instrument lights via that instrument lights resistor that would be ideal thanks chaps!! ________________________________________ TEAM HIGH BOOST SUPERCHARGED RALLYEMy Rallye project thread |

I would bet money there is a yellow wire under the centre console. It comes on with the lights.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |
