Boost gauge wiring ?
What wires near the A pillar can I tap for my boost gauge ?
I've got a tinted one(cant read it without it being lit), so I"ll need it lit whenever the car is on.
Thanks in advance for any advice

You'd get more response from the FI section but I used the accessory wire in the fuse box (pass. footwell). There are 3 free wires tucked into the top left fuse box for adding extra electronics. One is ground, constant ON and ON with key. Just tap into that line and feed a lead over to the driver's side pillar. This line is already fused as well. The dash light dimmer will not power your gauge lights so if you want to dim the gauges you'll need to use some kind of rheostat or trimmer to adjust the brightness. Radioshack is a great source for these. I'm still looking for a small dimmer I can install in the pillar pod that looks good but when I do I'll share the info.
