I took a feed from the lights for the heater dials.

Hi Dan, i tried looking for the feed to the heater lights but wasn't sure where it is do you know exactly where it is . Thanks Steve.

Just crack open the heater control panel (pull out all 3 dials and then pop out the panel itself with a screwdriver).

There's then a few wires that run to small bulbs in that compartment to light up the heater dials.

I just cut a pair of those and forked it off for power to the plasmas. The plasmas aren't high load so you don't need to be too fussy about it.

That way they also dim when you dim your display bulbs.

I used one of these:


I can probably take a picture of what I did tomorrow if that helps?

I didnt bother cutting anything, i just stuck the cables in to the back of the bulb holsters and they stayed in. Worked a treat.

Have you tried swapping the wires round that you put in the back of the heater lights? Plasmas are like LEDs, the polarity must be correct.
