Default parking light indicator (PIN)

ok, so im tryin to install my reverse indiglo gauges...and it says to find a power source for the positive wire by finding the parking light indicator (PIN). Now, it also says to use a "computer safe" tester to find it, but i dont have a computer safe tester, but i do have a voltage finder. I figured id be able to find where the hell it is with that...but i dunno where it is. Anybody know where the hell the parking light indicator is so i can wire up my gauges? ANY help would be deeply appreciated...i have a headache from these things already

Tap into the wire that comes off the switch. It will be under your steering column cover.

just use a test light,..you can go to the fuse box,..tap it into the fuse for your parking lights that way they will come on when you flip on your parking lights

but the instructions say that the wire will be in the plugs that u unplug from the back of the instrument cluster...is there an easy way to tell which wire's which?? i mean, im sure i can pick up a test light, but im just lookin for an easy way...maybe someone can tell me which wire it is? im sure itz the same wire in all integras...

Something like www.bulldogsecurity.com would tell you the wire color of each feature of your car. See if it still works.
