I was going too mount it on my driver side pillar. It says to hook up too 2 12volt ignition switchs. One wire to the 12 volt dash lighting one more to the air fuel signal and of course a ground. Just wondering the fastest and easiest way too hook it up thanks guys

Is it the kind where it goes to a wideband, or to the narrowband, stock O2?

Do you have any instructions with it, or maybe a link to the model you have so we can investigate? There is not enough info here to tell you to just hack into your wiring.

Do you have the pillar pod? If your gauge is a wideband gauge then youll need a wideband O2 sensor. If its the cheapy narrow band sensor, they arent that accurate.

I'm betting that it's the gauge that goes into the stock O2 sensor. They really don't tell you anything, unless you're tuning, but a tuner can tell you that anyway.

Even when you're tuning AFR from a narrowband isn't reliable, at least I wouldn't try to tune off it. Thats why I'm getting a Wideband for Xmas.

Like someone else said, it sounds like you have a gauge for a wideband O2 sensor.

Well if you go through with it the closest wire to tap for the lighting in a pillar pod would be the dash dimmer control, just put a test light on it and actuate the switch and watch for what wire turns on and off and dims when you move the switch. That way it comes on with your dash lights automatically when you unlock your car and whatnot and you can dim them with your dash lights, cleaner install look then just throwing it on some on/off power source. Good luck!
