Hi, I am installing a set of stack gauges, (2011 R56S LCI)
12v power and ground is done to 12v cigarette jack in the center,
but I failed to find 12v lighting source near there(center console area)...

I've been told to try to find one in the footwall light module(controls hid lights etc),,

Anybody know how to remove the entire footwall panel(seems extends to B pillar)????

Or,, is there better source for the bridging to 12v lighting?


without illumination wire connection, my gauge is "full on" mode with illumination.. my eyes... :(

 

Can't you pull lighting from the 12v cigarette jack light wire?

The 12v cigarette jack has two wires and the light is a third wire.

Best of luck.

Motor on!

 

He said he did that and the gauges are too bright.

You should find the 12V illumination line at all the components in the center stack, and wherever there is a button with night illumination. Look for a grey/red striped wire.
