I did mine from the headlight power wire. Technically, the driving light wire. The way I see it, if you need the gauge cluster lights to be on, you'll need your gauge light to be on also.

Are you talking about the actually headlight wire or the dimmer switch wire?? I tapped the dimmer switch wire for my indiglo gauges for convenience. If you use the power wire after the dimmer switch you'll be able to dim your gauges the same as your dash.
