    How to tap into a good power source in a DC5R

    Hi,
    just put in my laser jammers and radar detector, but they run off the cigarette lighter, so i need to find a power source to run them off of, but looking under the dash to see the fuse box almost made me sh*t my pants, the fuses are like ants and the wires are all bunched into one thick bundle, so its almost impossible to see whats for the cigarette lighter without pulling the dash out again, which i don't want to do after the headache i went through in installing the buddy club short shifter.

    can anyone help me out?

    and no... i don't want to run them into the engine bay....

    HELP PLEASE... i hate trying to decide between using my jammers or detector lol

    Use a test light. Thats the easiest way to find a good source.

        stereo power source is usually a strong one...

        use the yellow/red wire - it is controled by the ignition key and is protected with a 7.5A under-dash fuse...
