For those of you with guages, which 12 V source did you use for power?

I pulled my 2 gauges off of my stereo turn on wire. For the lighting i ran from my front left sidemarker.

I thought about doing that but I had one problem. At some tracks they require you to turn off the stereo. If I have to turn it off won't it also turn off the guages?

Are you guys referring to swapping out the existing gauges that display your speedometer and such? If not, do you have instructions on how to do a swap? I just bought the reverse indiglow for my s14 and don't have the service manual. Any info is much appreciated. thanks
