Pivot Digital Tach Lamp

( if the pic aint up now.. it will be soon.)

I just bought it yesterday.. and the instructions are in japanese.. err I think. I heard a tach Lamp is pretty easy to install.. and I like the fact that it fits perfectly in the little driver side "cigarette holder" near the door.

few questions:
Im thinking about placing it there.. but I got to drill through the plastic.. how can I do this without running the risk of cracking it.. I want a nice round hole to slip the wires through.. do I need a certain kind of Drill Bit?

I know this goes into the oxygen sensor.. but.. sorry.. please remember I am not a professional installer by any means.. where in the big black book do i find the location of the sensor?

Or hell, if anyone around Northern NJ wanna help me figure this all out email me.

or the website for Pivot products for english instructions would be excellent.. goggle came up with crap.

Another question:

Several wires are clipped into the unit.. I cant figure out what goes to what.. for all of them:

White (long wire) - I assume for the Oxygen sensor?
red - Power
black - ground
yellow - ??
orange - ??

Thanks in advance.

Can you scan the directions? I doubt this thing needs to be hooked up to the O2 sensor.

I guess its hopeless huh?

I THINK.... (no blame me for being wrong..NO LIABILITY!!!)

Top wire = go to tach lead
2nd wire = constant 12V + lead
3rd wire = Ignition 12V + lead
4th wire = NO CLUE , but a 12V +
5th wire = looks like a ground

The pic to the right is one of a ignition coil (similar to a blaster 2 coil MSD yeah?) but I have no clue which wire goes there, plus it says to hookup to the NEG side of the coil..Al the wires except the ground wire from the diagram are all POSITIVE it seems...

And you dont want to ground the light to the neg side of the coil..Id rather ground to battery of bare metal...

Hope this helps! anyone else??????
