Default indiglo gauge question

I'm in the process of installing indiglo gauges. I was going to tap the + wire to the oem dimmer so the gauges go on when the the headlights turn on. There are 3 wires....ground(black), a red wire, and a red wire with a black stripe. Which wire do i tap for the positive??? The red or the red with black stripe??? I think its the plain red wire, but just want to make sure.

Is there any other ways to wire the gauges???

dont tap into the dimmer, i did that with my 5gen and it drains power to the other accessory lights when u power up the gauges. If you power down the gauges the accessory lights brighten up. If u dont mind that then go ahead.
