Aftermarket Gauges.

ok folks hows it going. i have a couple questions, i installed a 2 gauge pillar pod with intentions of hooking up a mechanical water temp and oil pressure gauges. i can handle hooking up the gauges fine, what i want to know is what i need to tap in to for the lights. how have others grounded them, and where do you get the power from for the gauge lights. would like to have them so they come on and dim with the dash cluster. any help would be appreciated.

Tap into Dash Illumination wire for the light - Light Blue/Red wire @ main light switch.
Ford ground, look for any wire connected to body..should be one in driver kick panel
