1. I got my wire from a totaled cobalt from my work that came in. (I work in a body shop), but any auto parts store should have it.
2. I used some bolt under the dash for my ground, next to the A pillar.
3. I got a add a fuse and connected it to my windshield wiper fuse.

Wait you should have a :
1-direct voltage power cable that hooks up to your battery or any direct 12v source
2- power wire that connects to a switchable 12v souce thats only activated when the car is on like the power windows switch " this will control the on and off "... Do this !
Run a power power from the window switch fuse from the fuse box on the passenger side then run it all the way to ur gauges and connect them to that...thats how i have mine hooked up and they will light up every time the car is on and turn off whenever the car is off.
The illumination is only to dim them or brighten them, just leave that unhooked " put electric tape on it so it doesnt touch anything else "
