Default Dimming New Gauges

I have searched and search but still can't find the exact answer. I am installing a new Double Din from Dennis and three new gauges in his modified bezel. His directions (for the radio) recommend using the cream colored HVAC on the right in the plug to dim the radio. Is there a better location?

Then when I add the three gauge (all AEM) can I use the same connection point. Seems like alot to tap into that small wire. I read somewhere that the system will sense the additional load and reset. I read somewhere else to use the hatch switch.

Where is the best location to tie-in, to get all this working without effecting anything else.

Thanks,

RB
