What kind of automotive instrument? 12 to 16 volts work, so many laptop
power supplies will do if the current draw is under 5 amps.
A spare power supply from a desktop computer puts out a good several amps
which I often use. Some people may cry about that and say these switching
supplies will not work that way, but I guess they never tried it. The
output really isn't that bad.
Car batteries also make wonderful power supplies too from what I hear.
