hey guys, i got a question for all you gods out there. I recently bought some aftermarket gauges because i really hate the orange lights on the oem ones. I need to tap the power wire into the parking lights or the one that turns on when you turn the light on. Now the problem is which wire? can someone help? thanks ahead of time.

I hate to sound smug, but did you pull out the light know and check those wires? The one that is powered when the switch is set to Parking Lights is the parking lights :)
