autometer gauge installs

Ok, read thru the manuals everythings cool. The only question I have for wireing up the gauges is to get power. It says something about tieing into a 2amp fuse in the fuse box. Would it be better to run a line from the battery with a 2amp fuse in it, and power both gauges that way? How'd you guys do it. I'm talking about the main power, not the light(just to be clear). I figure I can find a wire thats hot with the headlights to tie into for the light via my 12V tester, grounds easy, and wireing the inputs is easy.

I run the lights off of the parking light power, and the power form the radio fuse.

What gauges are you installing? Both of mine are mechanical (oil press and water temp) so the only electrical is the lights which I just tapped into the fuse box on the fuse for the dash lights so the dimmer works on the gauges, too.
