Gauge Power

[Turbo Tim 1]

OK Here Goes, I just got my Pre turbo pyrometer and manifold pressure gauge (Both ISSPRO). The installation of the pyrometer in the exhaust manifold I've got down and the connection to the intake for the boost is easy, but I need help with the wiring of the lights and the power for the pyrometer. I am kind of anal when it comes to wiring things, I want a real clean look and feel. There are already too many wires going to the battery. I've read about wiring the lights to the dimmer switch, how do I get the dash apart to get at it, will three gauges over load that switch? Is it possible to use a spare fuse holder on the side of the dash to wire power to the pyrometer? I am waiting for ISSPRO to come out with a electric fuel gauge and when they do I will be putting one of those in (right now I test with a temporary gauge like Briar Hoppers), but for now I will be mounting these two gauges in a 3 place a-pillar pod. Thanks for the help in advance and if you have pictures that would be great.

For power to the gauges, piggyback on the #8 fuse. Use the #5 for the lights. They will dim with your dash lights.
