Just had a look at mine and I have my + tapped off a red with silver or grey stripe wire. It is in the corner of the grey plug on the drivers end of the ICC plugs.

Hope this helps you.

Anyone have the collector and emitter values for hooking up 3 cobalt gauges?

I tried hooking into the dimming circuit but they don't dim as much as the dash and are heaps brighter. They dimmed about the same as the dash hooked up another way but were dimming opposite to the dash so it's probably just going to be easier to build this little gadget and reverse it

Would it be tricky with leds used to create the blue glow and incandesants used for perimiter lighting apparently?

I had thought about giving one of these a go.- http://www.autometer.com/cat_accessoriesdetail.aspx?vid=185
