Question HELP! Wiring for aftermarket gauge faces

I bought those nifty 'reverse glow' gauges, they aren't nifty enough to come with specific instructions though. What wires do i tap and how should i go about doing that? I found the live wires and what seems to be a ground with my el cheapo voltage meter, those are on the vertical plug on the left side of the gauge cluster, the one that controls the interior and exterior lights. Is that where i should be looking? I actually had found a combo that worked but when i pushed the button supplied with the gauges to turn them off it turned on my FTP's and when i pushed it again everything went off. So, where does one get the power for the new gauges and is it possible to set them up to turn on with the interior lights rather than mount the cheap extra on/off switch too? Any expert advise would help greatly!

http://www.fc3s.org has a detailed writeup about his installation of indiglo gauges. i used it as a guide when i installed my reverse indiglos.

piece of advice...if your reverse indiglos ONLY light up the numbers, don't remove all your bulbs unless you want needles that you can't see at night.
