gauge lighting

finally have my fuel gauge ready to be put on its all set up with all the fittings and lines and pod to hold it---which is junk to fit an isspro gauge in, i did more cutting and chopping than i wanted to. ANYWAYS to power the gauge im figuring i can tap into the switch for the lights, pulled the switch and theres a mess of wires there. Which can i tap into to get power when the running lights and headlights are switched on. or i read it goes into the dimmer. any thoughts. thank you

Not sure if your '01 is the same, but try this:

Be careful not to draw to much juice off that dimmer wire if you actually dim the lights. The switch is known to overheat and metldown.
