Maddad Clarity Ultra A-Pillar Gauges

Markiavelli · 04-22-2008, 09:20 PM

ok, so i've tried searching and cannot seem to find any install help/how-to's for installing Maddad Clarity Ultra Gauges in the A-pillar. It seems like everybody is replacing their clock... but I love my clock and want/am installing A-Pillar ones.

So can anyone provide any help as to which wires to tap (b/c I'm not a big fan of going into the fuse box and doing it that way)?

I can't see it being too hard. I've performed countless a-pillar installs on cars. Its a pretty straight-forward process that is followed on all types of vehicles.

Usually the a-pillar is held in by 2-3 clips and a plastic guiding point. Pop them all as you pull outwards (towards you if you are in the driver seat, facing forward) and it should slide right out. Then replace it with your new pillar once you have your gauges mounted. Be sure to run the wires so they don't pinch when you reattach the new a-pillar.

Then just work on running the wires for power and your sensors.

Yeah, i have the gauges in place just fine and everything... just need some help/tips with the wiring.

Anyone know the best wires to tap in order to fully utilize my awesome Maddad gauges?

Did you buy the daisy chain wiring kit with your gauges?

no, i didn't guy the daisy chain wiring kit from Daddy SC but i am planning on daisy chaining them myself.

The main issue i have is where the wires i need to tap into are located at (as in, the best place to find and tap into the necessary wires...).

I'm going forward w/ the install Sunday (just gonna do my best), so ANY help would be greatly appreciated before then!
