fuse box question

I have purchased a new after market gauge cluster for my dent. I plan to clamp it on the bottom of the metal dash flange so as not to drill any holes. Call me crazy but that is just the way I am.... But It comes with lights so I can see the readings while driving at night. I have looked at on line images of fuse blocks for trucks of my vintage but none show a fuse for the head or tail lights that I could use for power. Does anybody know if there is a fuse for headlights for a 1973 Dent and where it is located? Just about everything else comes on when the key is turned on. Would like the gauge lights to come on only at night.

Thanks!!! Donald

Headlights have a self resetting breaker in the headlight switch.
 
I located the line feeding the dash lights and soldered into that with a connector so that nothing had to be cut if I needed to take them out for some reason.

Sorry but I managed to forget to take pictures of the wiring for it.
