Default Please help...questions regarding lighting my apr boost gauge (TIA, and I have searched).

I have my vent boost gauge in and ready to go but am puzzled as to the best way to power it for light. I have searched all the tech articles and done searches but the solutions are simply not explaining it to me in laymans terms. What gauge wire should I buy? Connectors? To do so which prong on the back of the gauge is the ground or does it matter? I would like to light it only when the lights are on but that is not crucial. Thank you for any input.

Default Saw that. Thnx though. I think I might have found a way to do so from that post anyway....(more)

Using a spade connector on each of the prongs crimped to (insert) gauge wire. Then from there using an inline splice on the other end of the wire to tap into the current that simply lights the vent controls on either end of the vent module. I believe this is the idea that they were trying to get across in the post that you refernced me to. Does this make sense? Please let me know. Running to the hardware store right now (=. I hope this works!
