Where to wire new Guage lighting
I just picked up a little vacuum gauge from autometer and I've never wired something into my car besides my radio(which was really easy). The vacuum gauge has a little light to illuminate the gauge at night, this is what I want to wire.
I did some searching and couldn't quite find any threads with this exact question. My exact question is where should I wire my +12v from the gauge? I'd prefer to have this gauge light go on when i pull the headlight switch just like how my dash illuminates, so they all go on at the same time. I've got the off-site wiring diagrams here, and I was wondering if someone could tell me where/which wire would be the best to tap into? Here's the diagrams: http://www.geocities.com/vtcamaro/Wire-Diagrams.html
thanks!

BRIGHT IDEA
Connect the vacuum gage light to terminal C (dark green wire) on the headlight pull switch.
Happy Racing!
If People Drove Any Slower They’d Be Going BackwardsFog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.
How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!

Re: Where to wire new Guage lighting
I wired my gauges to the center console light as i turned mine to a 6 speed and the light for the auto panel was there not being used so I used that
