Hey guys, I mounted a vdo boost gauge on my a pillar and it works great. But I just have one problem, I have no idea how to make it light up. The kit I bought did not come with any parts to do this. If someone could give me a step by step procedure it would be much appreciated.

is there a hole in the back of the gauge for a light?
if there is, call VDO and tell them you need the light... then it's just a simple matter of grounding the black wire and plugging the other wire into the "lite" slot in the fuse box.

Yes there is a light bulb in the back of the gauge. It has two "prongs" coming out of the back of where the lightbulb is and I think that is where you would wire it. My kit did not come with any wire however. How would I connect wire to these metal tabs coming out of the back of where the lightbulb is? Thanks a lot for the reply

Easy...Connect a wire to each of the "prongs" and then connect one of them to a good ground and the route the other one to the fuse box in the "LTS" terminal. Should work fine.
good luck,
Claude.

Easy...Connect a wire to each (preferrably one black and one red) of the "prongs" and then connect the black one to a good ground and the route the red one all the way to the fuse box and plug into the "LTS" terminal (not sure if this abbreviation is right...) Should work fine.
Good luck,
Claude.
