I'm actually doing mine soon too, should be pretty straight forward. Just gotta find a good power source.

nobody can help you as you havent actually posted a question, but rather a vague indication of what you'd like to do.

power supplies??

have you ever wired anything into a car before? if not I wouldn't recommend doing this yourself since you likely will blow a fuse/relay/worse.

have a shop or experienced friend do it for you this time and pay close attention.

i have never wired a car bfor, but i have wired other electronics...and as far as power supplies, i meant anything that turns on when the car turns on....i.e. rear view mirror, alot of people have hardwired v1's to those, but i dont believe the 93 ls400 has a powered rear view. im easy with directions, and i have my sisters boyfriend who works at a garage, hes done a ton of car wiring, just wanted to find out exactly what to attach it to and where to snake it along to help him do it.
