dunno if these forums cater for my old heap but hey maybe someone will know.

pretty much i'm looking for somewhere to tap illumination from, but all these wires confuse me.

this is taken from behind the cluster

hoping that maybe honda used the same wire colours in newer models, anything there that looks like it could be going to a dash light?

if you're happy to have it illuminated all the time, connect the wire to the acc. power. a few locations for it - cig lighter, under dash fuses, clock, etc etc
