pardon my ignorance, but cant you just use the power that runs the lights behind the dash? That has a dimmer built in so it would eliminate the need to use the dimmer it comes with... why would you have to run a separate line down to the fuse box?
Also, for my 99SE, my tach is on the left, The config on procarparts that shows the tach on the left is the Reverse EURO setup. The part "FORD CONTOUR SVT 95-99 V6" looks exactly like my gauges except the tach is on the othe side. Can I get
this (SVT) set and just move the tach plate to the left, or are the parts not free enough to move around like that. Did the dash change on the SE to match the SVT in the later years?
