I got everything setup now except I can't figure out how to pull the wire to front. I know red wire goes to power source and black to ground, but just can't get it out to front under the hood.

Is there a hole I can pull the wire out from inside dash??
can someone help me out quick?? I have to do it b4 it gets too dark...
ahhhhhhhh.....

i've installed indiglo gauges for my celica, a fren's celica, and a fren's 4runner so i'm pretty familiar with this stuff....i like to use what me and my frens like to call "the magic tool"....basically it's a wire hanger that you use to thread the wires through the firewall....firewall is located to the left of the battery....i think it's easier to go from under the hood and poke the hanger through the firewall into the driver side footwell....from there you just tape on the two wires and pull them through from the other side...and voila...that's all there is to it....hope that helps

If you have a volt meter, check for the green wires at the back of the guage cluster for +12v when your parking lights are on, then you can use a 'quick connect' or 'vampire tap' to splice your red wire to the green one. This is how I have mine setup. you should also have a decent grounding bolt behind the steering wheel.

You can also run wires down to the cig lighter wiring harness. Its hella easier than running them through the firewall. Use a voltmeter to check for (+) and (-)

Same Tech as mine but mine is bit different. Find yourself a metal hanger. Make it into a long stick (you know untie it). Wrap your wires to it then stick that shiet thru the firewall. This is much easier than trying to pull the wire out. Now the firewall is located left to the battery, it is a rubber looking rounded thing. Once you get your hanger thru, then pull it out from your driver's side firewall. Once this has been completed, rest are pretty much easy.
