I connected mine to a wire/light that was on the light circuit. If you go on the igntion they will be lit all the time, which I didn't see as being particularly advantageous.
Tap into a hot lead from your light switch, be clean and use connectors, and maybe an inline fuse to give you that extra warm fuzzy feeling (add up bulp amperages and add a little for fuse amp rating).
The dash comes apart pretty readily, you could go into a dash light but i don't think a power wire coming from the actual light switch itself like
Just out of curiousity, which VDO's did you get? are they electrical or mechanical, and which series?
I have Cockpit series electrical, combo 30 in. hg/20 psi boost, oil temp, oil pressure. I had no idea an oil temperature gauge on synthetic oil would be boring :) thinking about replacing it with something more interesting...it just slowly comes up to 180 deg. and pretty much sits there within MAYBE a 5 degree swing, no matter what kind of driving...It's good to now the sizable saab cooler does it's job; now I'm trying to think what would be more interesting/critical to watch. I've even thought of going back to dinosaur juice just so i can watch my gauge move around a little more :)
