Default where to tap into for Autometer gauge cluster lights?

Installed my oil and temp gauges, where exactly should i tap into for the gauges to light up when my lights are turned on? Do I wrap the wire around a fuse or splice into an existing wire? Thanks

i put mine into the the wire after the headlight switch that gets power after you turn the headlights on, i don't remember the color but if u have a 12v meter you can just test it see what wire gets power when you turn it on.

I used the headlight/dimmer switch wire near the fuse panel.
