I tapped into the illumination on the cig. lighter. I think it's green with a white stripe.

yeah take off the side panel near your throttle pedal and that will expose 3 wires coming out of the cig lighter. The green/white is your power source, and the black/yellow ???? will be your ground.

Are you asking about power for illumination or power for the guage to function?
All of your cab illumination wires are green w/ yellow stripe (positive) and black w/ white stripe (negative). This illumination will only work when your lights are on. As for power for function, I also went with the cig lighter as mentioned above.
