    heyo. i have my A/F ratio guage currently wired up using the ciggarette lighter/clock loom this is great except for the fact that the guage draws to much power and keeps blowing the 15amp fuse.

    as per autometres recomendation i have wired it in with a 30amp fuse. so logic tells me to wire it in another loom with a 30amp fuse but the only one i can see is the RTR loom wich correct me if im wrong is for the retractable headlights? but i want it so as soon as ignitions on the guage is on. so what should i wire it up to???

    thanks
