Sorry, I don't but you have a pencil type circuit tester ?
I would get under the dash and test at the fuse box to find your wire....
consider the light circuit first for a gauge so you can control the brightness...
also consider loads for the fuse to not overload it...

The dash dimmer wire is to the right of the steering colum in a 8 pin connector and it is the yellow wire.The power with key on is orange and tucked up behind the fuse panel it is a pass through in a bundle of orange with trace colors all of these will have power.

I am seeing different color wires to tap into.
I see where these wires are but they are different colors...
