Hey everyone, got another one for you. Well, actually two.. One of the problems I got is my aftermarket gauges I have won't light any more when the head lights come on. The lead I had them connected to is providing any power any more. I had them connected to a lead behind the radio. The radio is still working the same but the gauges won't light up. I've tried to find another possible connection but I haven't had any luck yet. Anyone have any recommendations on a place to hook them up to?
The second question I have is this.. Does anyone have the Apexi turbo timer? I've got the adapter that goes inline at the ignition and this is where my problem starts. On the connector from Greddy, there are three female bullet connectors, 1 red, 1 green and 1 white. Can anyone tell me where and what they are supposed to hook up to? I'd appreciate anything anyone can pass on.

dunno about the second one but my Defi guages lights are hooked to the dimmer switch for my dash panel (the little roller knob on the left side of the dash)

Thanks for the info. I've been checking around and there are a couple of places to get the power. I'm going to completely re-wire the gauges and hopefully that will change things, (in a good way) for me. Then, I'm going to re-try each power connection. The dimmer for the stereo, where it was connected. To the light for the ash tray and then I'll give your suggestion a try as well. I have swapped out the dash and I haven't had anything to control the dash lights like that but I'll give it a try. If you have any other suggestions, I am more than game. Thanks again..
