You don't want to power the gauge by the clock light. You should only use that wire (brown IIRC) to power the light bulbs in the gauges, because it all comes off that rheostat. Oh yeah... if you powered a gauge off of the clock light, then your gauge would only work when your lights are on. :)

If you want a source of power on in position II, just check your wiring diagrams and run a line off of a switched fuse. It will only take a few minutes to do.
