gauge lighting
I have just installed a 3 gauge A-pillar pod on my 1999 F-250. I do not know where to connect the hot side of the lighting circuit on the new gauges. I checked the back of the headlight switch, but it is a nice harness, and without wiring schematics, hopeless. So, my question is, where can I find a wiring diagram, or, does anyone know off hand which wire is the right one? Thanks.

just use a test light, *** probe the plug and find the wire that powers the dash and make sure it is the one that dims when you adjust the dimmer so your gauges dim with the rest of the lights.
