lighting autometer gauges

I am installing a set of autometer boost and egt gauges to my 2003 f350 (6.0) and I am looking to see where I can find a wiring diagram so I can wire in the lighting for the gauges. I can pop out the head light switch assembly very easy and would like to tap into those wires but not sure which ones to use. can anyone point me where I can find the info?
Thanks

yep... Just like the diagram says, I tapped into the light blue/red wire of my headlight switch for mine.

I don't know which series of Auto Meter's you're running, but if you find yourself unhappy with the illumination, you might check out the bottom section of my gauge writeup for a way to make it better for much less $$ then Auto Meter wants for the LED upgrade.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tip on the bulbs...I just ordered myself 10 bulbs. Not bad comes to 1.90 per bulb shipping included.

Yeah, that's a good price considering Auto Meter wants about $10/ea for them from Summit Racing.

I've had them in place for quite a while now and they are still working just fine.
