Default Where to wire boost gauge to?

Hey guys ive had the guage in for a couple of days now but I cant seem to find where to wire it into. I have the hose all hooked up to it and its working good but for the light in it idk where to wire it. Any ideas from you guys heres some info on what ive got. Its a 2000 a4 its a prosport gauge with 4 wires which are colored white, amber, red, and black. The directions say to connect the red to ACC 12(+). The amber to parking lamp, or basicly anything that will turn on when I turn the lights on so it will light up red. The white connect to ACC. And the black is ground. I have the gauge in the center vent so if anyone could tell me where to run the wires to so I can get this little guy lit up. Thanks!

The fuse panel, just take a voltmeter to see what fuses have power when you activate your lights and so on. Its located in the drivers side dash, a panel has to popped off to access them.

in that case, since you have a 2000 i would recommend wiring it up to the little power wire that powers the light behind the part of the vent that is lit up in this picture

I removed my cupholder to put my turbo timer in there so I just ran the wires from the light that was in the cupholder and connected them to the boost guage so the light comes on when you turn your lights on.

that would solve the amber and ground wire but what about the white and red?

Just tap into the ground and + in the dash, and hoop up the + to the red and the ground to the ground, that should work, if it doesnt, connect the remote(on/off) to the + too. Its a little rigged but it should work.
