    96 Disco 3.9ltr V8. Steering Column Wiring. Ignition feed & head light feed

    Hello all,

    Nice to meet you all. I'm new to the site so I apologize in advance if this topic is covered somewhere in the forum (I couldn't find it).
    I am installing some digital gauges which require and ignition power feed (turning the gauges on / off) and a headlight feed (dims / brightens the digital display). I am having trouble identifying the correct wires to get a feed from so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have listed the harness wiring colors below.

    The head light stork has a harness connector has 10 wires which are:
    - Light Green / Brown
    - Dark Green / White
    - Dark Green / Red
    - Dark Green / Brown
    - Purple / Brown
    - Blue
    - Blue / Black
    - Red
    - Purple / Orange
    - Blue / White

    The ignition barrel harness has 5 wires which are:
    - White
    - Brown
    - White / Red
    - Yellow
    - Green / White

    Thanks for reading.
    Ian

    I gather you are doing wiring without a functional multimeter or test light to hand? An optimist!
    FYI either the yellow or white ignition wires should suffice, and I suspect one of the dark green + stripe wires will be parking lights live.

    Thanks again for the help. Its all running now.

    White wire for ignition feed
    Red wire for "parks" head lights.
