Default wiring up boost and egt gauge

I'm wiring up the boost gauge and I'm not sure where to tap the white wire which is for the lights. Also for the egt gauge there is a orange wire and red wire, I think the red wire is for ignition and the orange wire is for constant power, not sure if thats right I don't have the instructions in front of me. Just need to know where to tap all the wires to. Thanks

I tap the light wire to the headlight main wiring, so the gauges will light up when the headlight is on and turned off when the light is off ...

Your fuse box should have blank spaces that you can tap right into. There should be constant power and switched power spots. I think I spliced into my ashtray light wire to have the lights come on when I put my parking lights on.

For this setup, will the guages light up if you only have you parking lights on? or do your headlights have to be all the way on?

or do it to the gauge cluster fuse, that way it'll light up with the gauge cluster
