Gauge install question?

[boosted3]

I am installing a new set of Autometer Ultra Lite 2 gauges. My question is regarding hooking up the voltmeter. Has anyone used the power and ground that you used for the lighting on the voltmeter? Im trying to simplify my wiring a little bit and figured the LEDs in the gauges wouldnt use much. Can i use the same wiring for the lighting to power the voltmeter or should i use a separate power and ground for it?
Thanks!

The lighting should be wired to dash illumination voltage so they will dim when you dim the dash lights. There's a slot on the fuse panel labeled LPS and you can get lighting from there.

You should get power to the gauge in one of the IGN slots.
