all i did was cut the orange wire on the plug going to the guage cluster, thn ran a switched power wire from the fuse box and connected that to the orange wire comming from the plug.

Are you basically saying you connected it to an accessory wire?

Theres no reason I couldn't just run the wire to the cubby light for it to work is there? That way just keeping everything more central instead if having to run it out to a new fuse.
edit: yes, it works great, needles sweep anytime the interior lighting comes on. its pretty nifty.

unless you only want the cluster to work when the interior lights are on. i dont think it would work that way anyway since it would almost be run in a closed circuit since the cubby light wiring has the same wiring to the cluster. it would be the same as running the orange wire (hot at all times) to the gray wire (interior lighting) in the same cluster pack leading into the gauges.
Its working good so far. The positive to that light is grey, the needels sweep any time the interior lighting comes on, and they have enough of of delay that when starting they only sweep once. So far so good. It only took about 30min to do it all so if somthing starts screwing up it wasn't to huge a loss of time.
