I'm finally getting around to putting my A-pillar pod and gauges on tonight and only have one question on the wiring. Which wire do I tap in to for the ilumination on the pillar gauges so they light up when the gauge cluster lights up? Everything else is done, just thought someone might know so I don't have to do some serious hunting. TIA for any help!

I believe it's one of the wires coming off of the dimmer switch. You gotta take the vent piece off, unscrew the dimmer/headlight switch assembly and find the wire used for the dimmer. I'm not sure which one exactly it is but it should be obvious (aka, should be 3 wires, one power, one ground, and the wire you should tap).

Ok, here's the answer for anyone else that may need it if SEARCH ever becomes un-borked. There are 4 wires going into the dimmer switch, green, gray, brown and black. The wire you need to tap into is the green one. This will allow the aftermarket gauges to dim/brighten with the factory gauges.

I just tryed it with the dimmer, works like a charm.
I have a question. What do you guys use for the "ignition" wire. I tryed it by putting it on the port labelled "BAT" in the fuse panel, but I realized that is constantly getting power from the battery. What do you guys use? I dont realy want to tap into the radio as I will be using 4 gauges, and I already got my shift light tapped into the radio hot wire. thanks

you can tap directly into the car's main ignition wire under the steering colum, it should be a pink wire if i remember right.
