Default Boost guage

I was wondering how u guys connected the wires for the light so they would turn on whenever u turn ur headlights on? Also how did u connect the tiny vinyl vacuumn line to the intake manifold? Which hole did u use for an integra? I have an integra and the autometer phantom boost guage. thanks

for the light, i tapped into the dimmer switch. works great.

don't pay attention to autometer's instructions. i used part of their clear vacuum line, inserted one end into the boost gauge and inserted this little hose connector into the other end. then, i used "regular" vacuum hose that goes from the hose connector, through the firewall, and is connected to an HKS "T" fitting that is spliced into my BOV vacuum hose.

If you own a honda/acura look for a black/red wire either at the back of your dimmer switch or in a bundle of wiring coming down from your steering column behind your underdash panel.

one is for the red/black and the other is for ground. For ground, i used an existing ground wire. i dunno if it's safe or not, but so far no problems.
