Hey phat4evry1,
I took the wires and spliced them into the switched wires on the dimmer switch. Try unplugging the switch and splicing the indiglo guage wires there. That way, they won't always be on. I hope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend hooking the gauges directly to the battery because 1.) you wouldn't have a fuse hooked up between the gauge and the battery. So if there was a power problem the gauges would just burn out. 2.) They would be on all the time and wouldn't go on and off when you turned your lights on. Try to put them on a switched source. If your only option is to hook them up straight to the battery, hook up an on/off switch and a fuse between the gauges and the battery.
