When I had one in my car I just put the light wire to the same place I pulled power from for the tach.

When the tach came on, the light came on. simple

figured it out!

I put the red wire (power) into the radio fuse.. (wrapped it around)

Then for the light on the tach (white wire) I put it into the instrument light fuse...

And it worked!

By the way, if any of you find this thread in a search (never know)...
Just a heads up..
When you wire up with the fuses, some times only 1 prong on the fuse will work just dont worry and just test it!
