hmm i dont know a whole lot about aftermarket gauges, i do know that alone the stock headlight wires can die though so i wouldnt wire it into the headlights, there was a thread around here saying something about behind the radio or something let me look and see what i can find, one sec.

Yes, you can. I have ALL mine tapped into the lite for the hvac panel and not a problem. They don't draw much at all.
