Wiring in boost gauge

there is a wiring post in the mk 1 leon section if you search there mate. if not i'll link it later when i get home from work

yeah wire the boost pipe from top of dv, then i took my light switches out and wired it into there, just earth, illumination so the gauge only lights up when lights are on and ignition, cant remeber colours tho

Dont suppose u know which colour wires to connect the power one to do you mate? Im going to get one soon

i wired mine into the cigarette lighter, so it lights up with the ignition

In front of you, you will have the two switches 1 & 2 all the wires will be run off switch 1

Ah i see. Ive never done a search about it lol. I presumed that elliot had and not found anything

search is your friend

just quick one as never wired mine in properly is the switch able live the one that comes on with ignition?

I wired mine on the ones in the diagram labeled "bLacklight" (think that's a typo! otherwise I'm missing some funky UV rave action in my car)... my guage lights up when ignition is on and dims with the internal lights.

did mine friday, job done! i just double checked every thing with a multimeter
