Default Relay or fuse for Parking lights?

I am trying to find the location to connect my Autotechnic gauges to so when I turn on my parking lights they come on. Can anyone help? It is a 1997 Accord Ex coupe 2.2L. Thanks for any help. This is frustrating me.

Well let me ask this then. Is there a relay or something I can wire my cluster gauges to so they come on with my headlights? Thanks for any replys.

Yep exactly, you'll use this wire to get power when lights are on. The only other thing i can think of is hooking up to the interior fusebox as well........

Ok thanks for replying. I will try that and let you know. I was thinking of wiring it to the cruise control button but thought that wouldn't be a great idea or just get a seperate switch for it all together. Where in the interior fuse box could I hook it up? I searched with no luck.

Well this worked perfectly! Thanks so much. Now I don't have to spend time under the hood tapping into a fuse when I want my gauges to work. It is so much nicer to just switch my headlights on and wham, my gauges are on. You guys were a great help. I will be here more often as I am doing a full SiR conversion on my 1997 Accord Ex Coupe.
