Light Source For Mechanical Boost Gauge

[Are_thirty_two]

Hi guys.

I am in the middle of installing my boost gauge on an r32.

Ive connected the vacum hose, but have the light source yet to be connected.

Im looking at the dash lights for a source.

Is the hazard light a good light source? (Picking it cause of its close proximity to my gauge)

If not, which wire from the foglight button (on the right side) do I tap into?

Are all good? and 12 vaults?

thanx

ey man, you can get a 12v source from your cigarette lighter it also has and earth. thatz how i hooked up my boost guage. joe

yeh but kinda wanted the gauge to turn on along with the dash.

Does anyone know which wire is the light source within the stereo wires.

Can I damage the gauge by connecting to the wrong wire?

the cig lighter does turn on with the dash lebostyles was meaning you have a light around you cig lighter just tap in and she lights up

Thanx for the replies guys.

there is only 2 wires behind the cigarette lighter. this is not a constant power supply.

ah just tried it and it worked.

I chose the orange wire with the black stripe, and the gauge lights up when the dash does.
