If done correctly, you should be able to 'tap' 12V and ground right on the gauge pod itself. At least, that's what I've done. And I've had 3 different sets of gauges in the past 18+ months with absolutely NO interference or problems with wiring.
PM me if you need some help with wiring or stuff.

the noise is a buzz sound coming from the little black box on the gauge controller i guess its a transistor but it goes away when i put a cd in. which wire cluster has the wires i need to tap? thanks for your reply.

yeah those are the ones i got they are not hard to install. i slipped them over the old ones. the buzz is only on the blue color but i think it is some kind of interference because when i put a cd in its gone. how do you replace the needles ? some of you have done this also which wires do i tap on the cluster?

Alright, I just installed these yesterday and have been trying to post about them w/pics but the org keeps going down...
I wired mine into the defroster switch's light wires. Any wire on the car that's red w/yellow is the parking lights - so tap into one of those if you want. If you tap into the radio power wire or the remote turn on, you'll get interference and buzzing w/the radio. However, if my car is off and I turn the parking lights on, I do hear a buzz from the gauges anyways - it seems like that will happen w/all glow-gauges...
