Default Wiring boost gauge

Where abouts is the best place to wire these to? Looking for the gauge to come on with the headlights and wire in under the dash......cars a MY95 if it matters.

Can anyone help???

Convention says that the middle pin of the lamp goes to the positive and the outer to the negative.
More important if the guage has a metal case, this should always be the ground.
Behind the stereo there is a purpose made connector to feed the dealer fit boost gauge.
