Appropriate Fuse Selections

Hey all I have a question regarding the appropriate fuse for me to tap onto for the following gauges I want to install on my 2001 Ford F-250 Pick up truck.

I have two gauges (Trans Temp and Diff Temp) that I want to hook to the appropriate fuse so that when I turn on my head lights the gauge brightness is reduced like the stock gauges.
The other item I am adding is a clock which would be great to have dim as well but unfortunately I need it to be powered all the time.

Thoughts / advise?

Welcome to the site

That would be on a wire for the instrument cluster circuit.

Don't be surprised if this thread gets moved to the 1997-2003 truck forum.
