Use the pink wire comming out of there(the back of the light switch the one with headlights and parking lights), then put one to a ground any ground doesnt matter which. It will control it by the dimmer switch :)

I have my gauge lights setup like this - the only problem is that the dash lights are brighter then the gauge lights are - they both dim at the same rate, the dash is constantly brighter.

To avoid that problem, you need to install a sepperate dimmer for the gauges. An added advantage of a 2nd dimmer is that you can dim or turn off your gauge lights at night time if you don't want the distraction (long late night drive, for example)
