Default AutoMeter Gauge Installation??

Hi there... the project for the weekend is installing some gauges. I'm installing a boost gauge and air/fuel gauge, both have the back light that requires to be connected to 12V Dash lighting. Curious if anyone knows which wire can I easily tap into? 12V Ignition should be the easier one to track down at the fuse block?

Appreciate your help!

hmmmm... did you change your stereo?? the aftermarket adapter module will have ACC and ILUM wires....
otherwise the fuse block will be about the only place to get those signals....
the computer tells each device to turn on (ACC) there is not really any "ACC wire" like in older vehicles.....
