looking for a live behind the headlight swith console. basicly i need a live power wire which i can run power to my gauges for the lights, so that when the headlights are on my gauges are lit, and the headlights are off theres no power.
i had a look at the back of the control and it looks like there are 3 or 4 thick wires, red yellow grey and one with a tracer on it. which one would be the live for when the headlights are on.
anyone got any ideas, i tried using a multi meter but my ones fckd, so that didnt work, anyone got a wiring diagram or done this same thing, any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers..

Connect to the grey/green wire which comes from the headlight switch
between the red and white/yellow wires on the bottom row of the switch
