Thanks for the reply. I have a 2005 Forester X. I will give a shot at tapping in at the heater contols.

Hello all, I am new to the forum and want to say Hello to everyone. I have been watching for a while and have seen some great threads. I have a 05 Forester and I just bought and installed a compass (not the LCD in the mirror kind, but the dial floating in a liquid kind.) I have mounted it on the top of the dash in the center. It came with wiring attached to power a small LED light for night use which I have not hooked up yet. I can see where I could tap into the fuse panel and through a switch to make the connection, but wonder if it might be feasible to tap into the dash panel lighting, so that it goes on with the rest of the dash lights.
