Default Need a Dash Light Wire

I'm installing Auto Meter gauges and I need a wire that gets power when i turn on my lights (to turn on the gauge light). I also need a power source that only gets power when the car is on. Can someone help me out?

Thanks

Light is at headlight switch as Brown{+}. This will light up with your parking lights. Ignition at the main ignition harness is Pink{+}, or you can grab accessory which is Orange{+} or Brown{+}, both st same location as Pink.

Thanks a lot! Where is the ignition harness? Really appreciate though, this is pretty much everything I needed.

Take out two phillips head screws from the knee panel under your steerign wheel and you can get to the light switch harness, and the main ignition harness--look for the fat red, yellow, pink, orange, and brown wires.
