best "keyed on" wire to tap into

I tapped my gauge lights into the ash try light, so the gauge lights will dim with the other interior lights.

it takes 2 minutes to find one with a multimeter probing the fuse box near your dead pedal. use one of these.

they are called automotive fuse taps.
There are many different kinds, theres like the one 87 t-66 showed, and there are ones with a metal strip where you plug a spade connector to it.
