Question power source for boost gauge illumination?

where did you hook up your boost gauge so that it dims when you use your dimmer switch also..

i've heard that installing it to a constant source like the parking lights also lights up the gauge but i want to be able to control the dimness.

any suggestions would be helpful.. oh and color of the wires your talking about too.. its a jungle underneath the dash.

Ran mine to the ashtray light. You can hook the wires up either way. It doesn't matter.

LOL Qball...why would you want to dim your boost gauge light? anyways, if you dont wanan use the parking lights, then just pop the tranny tunnel (is that the correct name) and tap into the wire to the ashtray as listed above. There is only like 2 wires on that thing, so it wont be hard.
