Default Gen III/IV setups with headlights

How did all of you guys with the gen III/IV swaps run the vacuum lines for the headlights so that you could retain stock headlights? I'm in the middle of my LQ4/TH400 swap and was thinking of running it off the back of the intake manifold, I just wanted to see where everyone is running theirs off of. Pics would be really appreciated

Back of the intake manifold, spliced into the brake booster line.

Mine is not running yet but that is where I am pulling the vacuum from. I do not run a vacuum booster for the brakes so I will have to find a reducer for the brake booster line but that should not be a problem to do.
