dash dimming wire source

I have a trans temp gauge on my 1996 F350, I have it all hooked up and functioning except for the light. I have searched without success looking for where to splice in to get the light on and have it dimmable. I have a wire routed from the gauge to the center of the dash behind the stereo. Any answers as to what wire I can splice into?

Thanks

Any blue with red stripe wire behind the dash. That wire feeds all the lighting in the cluster, and all over the dash. There is even a blue/red stripe wire going to the radio to dim the lighted buttons on the radio.
