RHCP what do you need the switch for? To turn on the gauges?
I did tap the cig lighter but not for a power source I tapped it to show the reading for volt

The reading for the voltmeter comes from the power source.

I don't think that the cig lighter would give me enough power to power 3 gauges and a radar detector though i could be extremely wrong
