There is a black ground PIN 3 and a white/red PIN 11 (or Violet/orange PIN 7) that gives you 12V in both parking and headlight mode located behind the headlight switch to the left of the steering wheel. Read the function next to the wires to see which mode works best for you.
Thanks I Will look into this looks awesome

One word of caution, after assembly the outer case/bezel was a little difficult to snap back together. Take your time. Patience will win in the end.

Keep in mind I did not have to remove the needles to install the bezel or gauge face. They slip over them. Made the job much easier!

Sweet. Do the numbers light up as well or just the blue background?

The numbers do not light up. They stay black and so the indigo shines around them.
