Hi, trying to finish up my gauge install, wondering where you guys tap into dimmable power for your lights?

Since I've got an aftermarket stereo the lead is not in use in the adapter plug so I used it for all my dash lighting for my aftermarket stuff. This lead goes to my terminal block at the knee bolster on the driver side then branches out and powers gauge lighting.

I use a mini-fuse add a circuit and plug it into fuse 5 in the "junction block"  which is the fuse panel on the drivers side inside of cab on the instrument panel.  This is the dimmed voltage circuit, so they brighten and darken with the command from the headlight switch rheostat.

 

Hope that helps!

I tapped right into the dimmer switch power, with the same effect as others posted.
