If you don't mind it not dimming you can hook it up to the parking lights so that it's only on when your lights are. Pin 29 - green wire.

Also, what is a good subsitution for the power wire cause I don't trust running a wire from the fuse box.

The blue colored square in the junction diagram is where I pulled the switched 12v.

I'm installing my tach, too (Autometer Autogage), and was looking at where to install the illumination wire, too.

People talk about tapping into the stereo dimmer. Which wire is that and where's it located?
