Where do i hook this wire?

I have a tachometer and need to know where can i hook the light bulbs to so when i turn on the headlights the lights come on. I want to use a wire from inside the car if at all possible. Where would one of these be located?

Go in the DIY for the Indiglo lights... the picture is in there. I can't remember what color it is, but it's in the plug on the right hand side of the cluster, just to the right of center and closest to you. Stick the wire in there and turn the parking lights on... the dash lights should come on as should the tach face.

It should be just for dash light power (when the lights are on)

The wire your looking for is in the casing that covers the steering wheel, and turn signals. I dont remember what wire the low beam headlights are but if you find it that will turn the light on when you turn your headlights on.

the blue tach wire that you are looking for is on the harness that attaches to your gauge cluster.
