Hello
I just installed a boost gauge on my GZE AW11. 7 psi at 4500+ rpm. Cool. 
I have the vacuum lead and the Ground/12V wires connected properly, however I dont know where to connect the Lighting wire so the gauge lights up at night.
Can someone pls tell me how to tap into the cars lighting.
Thanks
Martin

Use the wire that runs light to the clock, lord knows the clock does not work.
Cheers,
Mitch.

get a test light and start testing wires.
cig lighter is a good one, does your clock light up when you turn the lights on?
