I recently installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge since I was tired of the idiot light. Anyways, everything works fine, except that I can't seem to find the wire to splice the backlight for the gauge into. I want it to turn on when the rest of my interior illumination turns on...with the first click on the headlight switch. Anybody done this before and know what wire to look for?

What's awesome is that you think I came up with that myself or something, when actually you're the one who taught me that! Just payin' it forward. . .

i do have an aftermarket stereo, so i'll check for the wire there when i get the chance, probably work better since the gauge is mounted on the underside of the dash right next to the center console. I've heard that I should ground the other wire, and if so, to what?
