Question Wiring guages into Headlight switch

I just recently installed some guages an have them wired around a fuse right now. They come on when I start the car but I was wantin to wire them into the headlight switch that way the light will only come on when I turn my lights on. Can anyone help me out here.

Thanks
Justin

I'll be doing the same thing in a few weeks. I was going to hook-up with the dimmer wire, so they come on with the lights, but you can turn em off completely if you want. I remember someone saying it is the tan wire in the radio harness...not 100% sure tho.

ive done this as well. I dont remember exactly what wire it was. The easiest way is to use a test light. When you turn the parking lights on..what wire is hot. I dont remember what color it was though. But ive had it done for about 6 months now..with no problems.
