Do you have the APR guage. I just got mine the other day and I was gonna install it with no lighting. I'm retarded when it comes to electrical stuff. There are instructions on the APR website under customer support but it doesn't say anything about wiring up the lighting. When you do it post some pics?

Run a 12v wire to the fuse box and wrap it around a fuse.

Your manual has the individual assignments for each fuse, if you want to go that far. I think that if you wired it to the fuse that governs the headlights, then maybe your boost guage light would turn on with your headlights, which is what you want. Can someone who knows more about electricity than me confirm/deny?

Tap into the wire that the fuse for the taglights is. When you turn on your headlights your tag lights come on. The worst that would happen is you would have no taglights. This is where i tapped into and i used a T connector thing you can get at radio shack. Pretty much it clamps down onto the wire that your tapping into and then you take the wire from the boost gauge and clamp it down in the middle. If i have one layin around ill take a pic.

You want them to turn on with the headlights but dont tap into a fuse wire for the headlights. If your connection goes bad for some reason and your driving at night your screwed. The taglight fuse wire if it goes bad your taglights just wont work but you can still drive.

Since you have one piece headlights, I'm assuming you are 00-01. Therefore you air vents are lit. Pull them out and tap into that wire.
