Where are you splicing into to have your gauge lights to come on with your headlights? I don't want it lit all of the time, I want it to be triggered by turning on the headlights.

Driver's side fuse panel has a harness coming out. Find the brown wire. Here's a pic of mine, the white wire going up is for my pillar gauge backlighting. The others are for auto start, and wideband.
