Default AFR Gauge ?'s

What power supply do I need to tap into for my AFR Gauge? As of right now it works just fine but as soon as my headlights turn on it shuts down and doesnt work until the lights are turned off, anyone else have this problem? Thanks for the help in advance.

I would guess it's the ground you're using on the meter that's causing this. When the lights come on there is enough current draw to drop some voltage on the gnd wire & the gauge is no longer seeing all of the 12V. Run the gnd wire over to the stud behind the kick panel by the door (or some other GOOD ground) & it should be all better.

I've tried pretty much every switched power supply in the fuse box near the driver side. It's currently hooked up to the stereo
