Looks great. So where did you tap the 12V power? Was that the 12” swivel light on Amazon posted in another thread?

Thinking of something similar for instrument cluster. Really hard to see it in bright daylight.

Nice addition. If it’s not to much to ask, where did you get the light?

That looks great. Thanks for the pics. I was trying to do the same thing but unfamiliar with the electrical. Do you have a pic of where / how you tapped into the wires behind the panel? Thanks

Did not tap into wires. Used piggyback spade connector enables you to share 2 wires to 1 terminal.
One photo shows red piggyback spade connected to power from porch light. Provides constant power to LED light bar.
Other photo red piggyback spade connected to battery ground hour meter generator.
The wires on LED light bar are short you have to use splice connector and extend wires. Click image for larger version
