Default Instrument Cluster dimmer voltage

I'm installing some new electronics with gauges and I need to find the best place to tap into the "instrument lighting dimmer wire" for the gauge backlighting. Being old school in my thinking, my first thought was to go to the dimmer switch wiring, but after looking at the shop manual that's the last place I would want to go. So, has anyone found a good spot?

check for the backlight supply for either radio or AC head.
