i just did mine, and i wired mine into the red wire from the cig. lighter. i wired the power and the light to the same, so my light comes on whenever i turn on the Jeep

you can try to track down a wire that comes out of the headlight switch, or something to a light bulb in the gauge cluster. but for me, i got tired of wiring so i just spliced into the cig. lighter

go underneath your center counsle and tap into the wires that light up your tcase or tranny gears. that's what i did for mine. it's real easy. red is power, black is ground.....not that hard to figure out

is there a real need for a trans temp gauge in an xj if your not using it as a tow rig?

well since those lights come on only when you turn your headlights on they will at least light up. for the power just put one end in where the fuse for your radio is and it should work.

If you drive in a lot of sand or deep gravel, yes.
