Hooking up a couple of gauges.Needs power

Where can I hook up the 12 volt power to.They gave me about 6 inches of wire to hook up the bulb.Where can I find a close 12v lighting source.The vaccum gauge dosen't require any power except for the bulb,but the trans tepm gauge req 12volt
for the gauge itself.Where can I get the power from?

I used this fuse connector that has a wire running out of it that I got from radio Shack.

On my 96, I used the #9 "Guage" Fuse port as indicated on the guage panel diagram.

Do you have a hard time closing your door with that thing?
