I'm about to install an Autotechnic gauge overlay in my 1st gen xB: I need to tap power somewhere near the gauge cluster to power the autotechnic overlay. Anyone know a specific power source in the area that is: - Switched on/off with parking lights/headlights - NOT dimmable, meaning the voltage is constant and doesn't change based on the setting of the interior light dimmer dial?

Next question - is there a ground wire in the combination meter connector? Would be nice to be able to tap both power and ground right there. Never mind, found it. Solid brown. Overlay is installed.
