I am looking for a wire to tap into for power for my pyro gauge. What is a commonly used wire?

 

I usually use a keyed cig lighter socket...

 

I tapped the 12v always for the brake controller.

fuse # 37 is an empty keyed slot on my 04.5, you might test that location on yours and go from there.

 

10-4 thanks guys.

 

I have all 7 of my gauges wired to aftermarket fuse panel wired from the 12v keyed cig lighter.

 

i used a pink wire with yellow tracer that runs along the drivers side a-pillar because it was closest to the guage (srt10 guage pillar) or heres another one

I've got the painless fused panel. It's got two separate buses controlled by a relay. Each bus is fed from the battery and protected by a 20A fuse. The relay is controlled by the cig lighter.

I've got all my gauges fed from this panel, except for gauge lighting. My lighting is fed from a dimmable source.

 

That's the wire I tapped for power.
