Have you thought about wiring it from the headlight switch? Depending on which boost gauge your using the only feeds that you need are for nightime driving.

Headlight switch might still be the best bet. There is an ignition-swiched feed which can be tapped into which normally provides power for the switch (always illuminated for obvious reasons.) If you want me to get the colours I can do that when I'm next at my car.
