Default Toggle Switch Question

I wired up 2 aftermarket gauges and I wanna run the lighting to a toggle switch. How should I do this? I tried but it didnt work cause I ended up wiring it back togher and didnt break the connection.

Just wire it to the dash light wires in the fuse box. That is how I did mine and it goes on/off with the lights. They also dim with the dash lights too.

You will have to put the toggle switch in line from the power source to the gauges.

Like this-->> POWER SOURCE---------------TOGGLE-----------------GAUGES

I finally figured it out. I had the wires backwards. The power option on the switch goes to the battery and the wire for the lights goes to the ACC option.
