Installing new Autometer gauges

, in my case, there is a tan 18g wire from the light switch to the fuse box under the dash. From there it is fused and goes to orange 18g which feeds the lights for the stock instrument cluster. I intercepted the tan wire before the fuse and fed all my gauges from there (with fuses). .

Not sure why you did that. Why not just tap into the orange group out of the fuse panel and feed the gauges from that.
