On the backside of the fuse panel, underneath your steering wheel. There might be an exposed post or terminal you can tap. Also lots of people just cut the light going to the cig lighter and splice into it.

thought id hijack this real quick... i poseted earlier but noone responded... i set up my air/fuel gauge and i think it doesnt have enoguh power becuase its flickering between a reading and a power light... i soldered it to the lgitht that lights up the airvent dial thing... think its underpowered?

All I have to say is do not get cheap when your tapping into fuses.
