Question Quick Question: Where is a switched wire to tap into!?

Just need a little help here. Looking to install a voltmeter tomorrow and wanna know where to splice the gauge into. I know where to connect for the dimmed backlight, but where do you suggest to tap into for the gauge to get its reading from. Thanks guys. Pics are also welcome!
