whenever i add gauges or lights and want them to be able to be dim down like the factory i just wire into the factory dim switch or in our case the headlight switch. if you are just wanting them "on" when the lights are on, wire them into the headlight wire on the same switch. if you want them "on" when the car is on, head on down to the fuse panel and plug into your heater fuse (i prefer the heater fuse because if you accidentally blow it at some time, you are only out your heater fan and not something important!)
