Which wire for lights on a guage?

I have forgotten which wire I need to tap into to get lights to my temporary water temp guage. CRS is a sad memory loss disease...hope most of you never get it....

I taped into the A/C panel lights. If you have the heater only tap into the singal light bulb wire for hot then ground the gauge. It will dim with the headlight switch as the other's.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

no need to 'tap' into anything.
On the fuse box there is a spade specificly for this.

Cluster feed. TOP CENTER

I just didn't want to run the wire over to the fuse, the light bulb is right above my gauge so it was simple to do.
