electrical wiring for guage install??

I am going to be installing guages this weekend into the evo this weekend, and I want to know if anyone has any idea how to wire the guage so that when you turn on the lights, the guage will light up. Now before I get flamed to death, I did a search and didn't find what I was looking for.

I am looking to do a fuse tap. I don't want to cut into any wires or splice any wires, but preferably get some fuse taps and tap in that way.

Does anyone have pictures or wiring diagrams of what fuses I can tap into so that the guage lights only come on when you turn the headlights on???

Please don't flame me. I am just searching for the best way to cleanly install the wires. any help would be appreciated.

I tap the gray wire that you will find behind the cluster.

no problem. i was going to tell you how to do it by hardwiring it to the parking lights wire at the dimmer switch, but you said you just wanted to tap the fuse box so i got that for you.
