Default Aftermarket tach hook up question

I am installing an Auto Meter Tach and I was wondering if their was some easy way to get a dash lighting and ignition tap?
The input is easy because I have an MSD and ground is ground.
Thanks

My Tach has 4 wires,one for signal,one for ground,one for ignition and one for light.Not sure where the "light" wire is or where I pick up ignition power?
