Gauge install

Iam putting in some gauges and was wondering what wire do I tap onto for the lights to work with my car lights. I also need to get to the ecu behind the radio and was curious what was the best way. Thanks.

You can tap the wire the come from the interior cabin dimming switch I believe. The ECU can be access from the passenger side footwell. Just look up when you get your head down there.

You have plenty of space down there. Just use a micro-tap, not the industrial sized (think: 12 GA) wire taps.
