Anyone know what dash wire is for cluster illumination
 
I knew I should have saved the wiring diagrams before I lost access, but regardless, does anyone know what wire is used for dash cluster illumination? (or any other wire that goes hot when headlights switch on would work too)

BCM X4-F2 (boost gage)
BCM X4-B2 (to splice)

Gray wire at pin
D of TCS switch
D of fog light switch
B of hazard
B of boost gage

I assume the OP asked because of adding a gauge like an interceptor or something. I have an interceptor coming soon and I was wondering the same thing.

So I'd like to use my TCS switch or fog lamp switch because it is closer.. and would switch with my lights. Is that a good idea?

Go you need a wire thats hot with the headlights on or a wire thats hot when the dash lights are on? two seperate things.

Trying to wire a foot well light in, want it to go on when dark, when it goes dark both headlights and dash lights go on, so I figure either would work. Was also contemplating wiring it also with rear mirror lights, but that would require some transistors.

Yes, that is good info. I looked in the service manual online and you're right on.
