Need 12v source for gauges

I am trying to install some gauges, and I need a switched 12v source that comes on with the ignition, and a headlight wire that gets voltage when the headlights are on. I am trying to tap in somewhere on the left bottom side of the dash shown in the picture. Anyone know which wires would work? It's slow going with a 12v tester.

I got both of mine out of the fusebox by the drivers side footwell. Not very helpful, but it should significantly reduce the number of pins you need to check.

I fished a wire in loom over to the circuit that feeds the 12V receptacle in the glove box. I never have anything plugged in there and used it so the receptacle fuse only feeds things I've added.
