I am installing a Nitrous pressure gauge and looking for a place to attach the wire to light up the gauge when the lights are on. Can anyone tell me where or what wire to tap into to light up the gauge?

The fuse box is on the driver's side of the dash. There is switched fuse in the middle that I use to power a few things. Some guys like to wire into the dash lighting so it will dim with the dash lights, but I don't have time for all that. I wired my nitrous gauge light into the arming circuit, so the gauge light only comes on when the system is armed. I did this because I use remote control switches rather than having a bunch of switches in the cockpit and that is confirmation the system is arming properly.

I see you're located in Palm Bay. You're not far from me. Today I found a 2 amp circuit in the fuse box that you mentioned. it's only hot with the key on. So I tapped into that. Thanks for the help.
