Default Boost Gauge Question

I will be installing my APR boost gauge tommorrow. The search helped but I still have one question.

How did you guys light it. Did you tap into a dash wire ????? What gauge wire did you use ??

Thanks

I believe APR uses the VDO gauge with its mounting package. The VDO can be lit green or red. Can you switch a bulb or something like that? the VDO should come ready for red and green lighting...
