Got my Dipricol Fuel Pressure Guage today, need help

I got my new Dipricol today but I need to figure out which wire to tap into for the dimmer in my truck or maybe fuse panel. Which is the easiest to do, so that my guage lights up? 2001.5 This is a mechanical guage by the way.

On my truck, I just used a test light and poked around in the headlight switch until I found one that dimmed, and came one with the park lights. There is a fuse in the cab fuse box for illumination. Check to see if that will dim with the switch. If it does, use a fuse tap and you should be good to go.

You can always tap off of the cup holder light. That dims with the dash lights...

One of the fuses in the cab fuse box works with the dimmer. Im not shure but your owners manual will tell you. 10 or 17 come to mind but one of them is for power with the key on and the other is the lights. Just check the owners book. or use the test light.

there is a fuse that is down stream of the light sw, it is variable voltage.

? think it is labled Inst lights '' you can use a " piggy back fuse holder from
the auto store, makes a nice neat install.
