Default Boost gauge wiring help?

I know I saw it here before and I thought I tracked the thread and I did a search too!

What I need to know is which wires do I tie into to have my boost gauge go on with the parking lights?

Pics please, please, pretty please!

Default Here are some pics.....

My original tap on the light blue wire Steve mentioned -

I updated this tap last month with a spade connector so I wouldn't have to drop the lower dash to remove the gauge.

Default ATTN: Take a good look at the dial face, mine's getting replaced...

make sure the dial face is centered inside the gauge housing before you get it all in.

mine is off center to the right and I asked Paul at egauges about it. he said he had never seen a manufacturing defect in a Defi but they would send me a new one to replace it.

I *almost* put a tee tap in the dimmer wire for future attachments but I was like, what else am I gonna need this for? I'm sure that's why I'll have to take it out again.

I thought Renn-Art was doing this for you. I just put the soldering iron away.
