Firstly this is in reference to a 1.9 DT 205.
Currently have a boost gauge and about to fit a volt gauge (after the drama with the alternator I thought it wouldn't hurt to install one seeing as it only cost £5!)
In the future I might put in oil/water/egt gauges but for now just want to wire all the back lights up to one switch.
What would be a good wire to T off of? I'd imagine the side light/main beam has a wire somewhere I could join to without the need of having a switch.
However I want the option for turning the back lights off at night as there very bright blue and it can be distracting!
In this case I imagine that there is an ignition live or something I could use to join a cable to which will run to a switch then all the gauges.
If anyone does have advice on where to wire to please state exactly where it is and what colour it is or even add a photo!
Many thanks.
