Default Looking to install Gauges

Looking to install gauges on the disco:
Water temp
Oil Pressure
To start, and maybe trans temp?
Anyways, quick question:
What fuse to "tap into" for the dim light on for the gauges?
Thanks in advance

I can't answer your question but that is a very good choice of additional gauges, they are exactly the same gauges I chose.

maybe jeff Blake will chime in. I think he just did some. Heck you think there would be a way to use the dimmer for the instrument cluster or even tap into the dimmer wire for the radio harness

Thanks for the reply, will like to see your set up.
It sucks that nobody makes a triple gauge pillar pod for land rovers!

I'm pretty sure there is a way and that someone had found it.

I tapped into the circuit for the parking lights. Fuse 33, it is a red/orange stripe wire coming out of the fuse panel.

Auber gauges

I think I tapped into the headlights for the dimmer

Glowshift oil filter sandwich adapter for the oil pressure and temp
Glowshift water temp sender for the coolant temp

haven't hooked up the amber one yet. Probably voltage, or transmission temp if I can find a good way to tap in
