Where's an easy accessible place to wire the boost gauge into for the light on it??

It depends exactly where your boost gauge is mounted, but I used one of the switched live feeds from one of the switches (fog light switch I think it was) :)

I wired mine into the back lights for the instrument panel, which comes on when you turn lights on. Its a small white wire will try and get a pic up tomorrow.

Just use a switch on the dash or the clock wiring

+1 :agree: for the clock feed!

lights up when you turn the ignition on - winner!

did mine recently, used clock feed aswell

Yellow will be ignition live, blue will be backlight (use this so when you turn lights on at night yourl light up gauge aswell) and if there is a red then this should be battery live.

wire off the dimmer switch on the underside of the lower dash panel if you want 'dimmable' gauge lighting
