05 Ram Gauge Hook-up

I'm getting ready to install the EGT & Boost gauges, and as I understand the instructions they want you to tap into the factory wiring harness dimmer circuit. I'd like to NOT cut into the factory harness, and tap it via a connector somehow. Any ideas?

Mine are tapped into the dimmer wire and no issues. I say go for it. Just make sure to solder the wires for the best, most reliable connections. That's how mine are connected.
