Okay, I was thinking you were dealing with the voltmeter in a stock gauge cluster. But tapping into one of those pink wires with the black stripe will still work for any voltmeter. Another alternative (that might be easier to reach) would be to plug the voltmeter into the "IGN" receptacle on the fuse box.

For the gauge illumination, you can also tie into the factory wire for the cluster illumination circuit. That should be a gray wire going to the factory cluster. And there will also be a branch of that circuit (also a gray wire) going to the bulb that illuminates the heater control panel. I believe there is also a "LPS" or "PANEL LPS" receptacle on the fuse box you could plug into as well.
