The wire can be connected to any of the cluster light wires or there may be a bulb that goes in place of the fiber optic light that the wire can connect to. The normal lights for the instrument cluster connect to pin 8 on the cluster plug, if you have a gauge cluster, or to pin 12 on the plug if you have a idiot light cluster.

There may also be a spade next to the pnl lts fuse in the fuse panel, that you can plug the wire into.

lower right. It will have 12 volts with the headlight switch pulled.

That is exactly the place that the old column is connected to. I should be able to remove the fiber optic wire from the bulb and just reinstall the bulb right? Then find a place in the fuse panel to plug in the indicator light from the new tilt column, correct? I really appreciate the help and also the diagrams.
