I am rewiring and think that all instrument lights should go off one breaker and the instruments off another and that would include the compass light. Thoughts?

I conveniently used the 12v terminal from that. My compass light is LED, so yes now whenever the gps is on, the compass light is on. It uses and extra 0.1amps during the day when you don't necessarily need it.
