which fuse controls headlights? ok I have the indiglo gauges installed and I want to know which fuse in the fuse panel is the one that controls the headlights. This way the indiglo will only be lit up when the headlights are on either automatically or by switch. Thanks. Right now I have them hooked into the ignition but I haven't seen them on during the day since I just got them hooked up when it was dark.

You don't actually want the headlight circuit because you want the dash lights on whenever the running lights are on but not when the automatic headlights are on. What you need is either the parking light circuit or the dash dimmer circuit. Both are protected by the TAIL LPS fuse with the dimmer also going through the IP DIMMER fuse. The brown wire at the dimmer switch (and at the radio harness) is running light power - on when any exterior lights are on. The gray wire is the dimmer power - variable voltage depending on how high you set the dimmer dial.
