if you've found the wires behind the dash isn't one of those 12v switched live and the other -ve side of the coil? if so then then 12v should be fine for the power shouldn't it? it should be 12v
Ballast Coil Or Not?

as i said previously, the green/orange cable is NOT off the coil, and is in fact a 12v switched live, that loops off the wiper motor, so you can use that cable to save yourself a LOT of bother

Not white for illumination. You need to find a red/green wire for the lights.

Yes, fuse #4 is for the sidelight circuit and has red/green wiring. Connect to the fused side of it, not the supply side. Check on your lighting switch while the lights are on for the next few weeks to make sure it's not heating up, or if you have a suitable meter check the switch current is less than 16A with all the lights on. It's easy to overload the switch.

great stuff looking from front of the box is fuse 4 the bottom one? and i think the fused side is the right side? i guess there is double spades on each side to add multiple things?
but not to many as things will overload!
I would hope the rev counter wont take to much power as its got a tiny bulb in it i think!
