Default POWER SOURCE HELP

I WAS THINKING OF USING THE ELECTRIC WING MIRROR SWITCH IN THE CENTRE CONSOLE ON MY 04 WRX AS MY POWER SOURCE FOR MY 3 GAUGES. I VE CHECKED IT WITH A VOLT METER AND IT GIVES OUT OVER 12V. MY QUESTION IS CAN U RUN 3 GAUGES OFF ONE POWER SOURCE? WILL IT BLOW THE FUSE? THANKS

I've run mine off the radio supply, quite an easy route under the dash. This way, you have lights live too if you want them to light up at night only(Mine are permanently on)

Yes was told about the radio supply, but didnt want to strip it out. Do you no if i use the wing mirror switch will it overload the system and blow fuse's, i've tested it with one gauge and it works and lights up with the turn of the ignition key. If i bang 3 on will it blow? Thanks mate.
