Question Gauge install question

I am going to be installing autometer ultra light egt and boost gauges in my 01 superduty. My truck did not come with a manual so i don't know which fuse does what. If any one has installed their own gauges and could tell me where the get the power from under my dash to dim the gauges with the dash lights, it would be great. Thanks, Tim

Welcome to Ford Truck Enthusiasts.

If you just want the gauge light on with the park lamps, use the brown wire on the headlight switch harness. If you want to be able to dim them with teh rest of the dash lights use the light blue/red trace wire from the dimmer switch.
