What colour are the wires behind the TC switch that I should use to illuminate the boost guage and oil presure guage?

Power = Blue wire with a red stripe.

Earth = Blue wire with a white stripe.

Or you can splice the wires behind the cig lighter for both power and dash illumination.

You could but then the lights won't fade with all the others on the dash and ICC.

And the gauges will be lit up all the time instead of just coming on with the parklights/headlights.

Nah I have done this and it works.

There is 4 wires. The two large wires on the left are 12v which power with accessories on. The smaller ones on the right are linked to the dash illumination system and only light up when the driving lights turn on.

I used that wire as well and I found that it worked the opposite to the dash lights meaning that the brighter I had the dash lights the duller my boost and oil pressure gauge lights got, is that how its supposed to be?

oh well yeah I dont think u can actually dim them using these wires.. but it is linked up to dash illumination and can be used to light up the gauges.

I originally had them hooked up so they were a constant brightness and found sometimes that they were too bright, but changed to the other wire and they do dim but opposite to the dash lights

If you use the TC switch wires they will dim with the dash perfectly.
