gauge install
I ordered a set of indiglo gauges off mustangtuning.com and think that it would look better if I painted the needles black instead of leaving them orange. What do you guys think?
Also, I was wondering where I might be able to find a push-button ignition for the lighter socket. Anyone know about this? Thanks.

Wow, this sucks. The one time I really need help with something, I cant get anyone to reply. I don't have a little meter to read the wires in the switch. All I need to know is what color wire to splice into. I tried searching, and many people have asked, with no response. Thanks alot.

RE: gauge install
Well, sorry guys. I figured it out, and for anyone who wants to know, I spliced to the largest solid gray wire coming into the back of the headlight switch. And I just grounded it to the firewall. Works beautifully. Totally worth the 85 bucks and all the hard work to install. Thanks.
