Pyro/boost guage circut?

This is my first post, I bought a rust free 84 250 x-cab 4x4 about 6 months ago and I recently installed a hypermax turbo kit I was wondering where is the best place to hook into the dashlight circut and a "swiched" 12v wire for the pyrometer and boost guages? Thaks in advance.

If your truck has a light at the ash try use it. There are a few places at the fuse panel to get a ignition curcuit.

I found a wire that was hot with the key on in the fuse block and had a blank opening and put a fuse in from the front then plugged the wire in on the other leg of the fuse. As to the light I soldered a couple extra wires into my running lights to use as gauge illumination when I was replacing my headlight harness.

The ash tray light seems a little bit easyer than the dash lights.Thanks for the help.
