You need to click on the link in my signature... Everything is explained in it...

But basically, since I see you have the heated seats, I'll help you here too...

It's very easy... First, the negative wire need to be tap into any screws under the dash (above the pedals) that touches metal...

For the positive, carefully remove the heated seats & mirrors adjustment switches. You'll see on each heated seat's switch, a red&gray wire attached to it... That wire provides power & dimmer to the switch.

Simply run a wire from your gauge to that red&gray wire and you'll be all good!!

PM me if you need any help!!
