Default 75x question + Install Pics of my VDO Gauge/steering column pod

well i just got done installing my VDO Gauge in the steering column pod ... apparently ECS resells the newsouth pod.. anyway.. i got everything hooked up.. except the boost line.. because the line that i was given from ECS wasnt long enought.. so gotta make a trip to Home Depot in the morning..

to wire up my lights for the gauge i wanted to use the 75x terminal that i had kept reading about.. so i searched and didnt find any pics.. but i read and found the area under the knee bolster where it should be.. i know its the place.. but i found nothing marked 75x.. i found the ones marked 30, 270, etc.. but nothing marked 75x.. i have a 99.5.. is something that i dont have.. or isnt labeled?

so instead i got a wire tap kit from pep boys .. and tapped into the cigarette lighter fuse.. this works great.. only problem is that it stays on 24/7 ..

so my question is can anyone supply some new info on where the 75x terminal is located? the only old post i found.. was just that.. old.. and the pics werent there anymore..

ok enought noob question... heres my install pics:

The terminal is under there you gotta take the knee panel off and its on the far left or right, its clearly marked you should look again its kinda hard to miss and I wouldnt tap in the the cig lighter cuz like you said its always on, you should look for a different sourch.... the guage looks great though
