Boost gauge tap wiring near steering column?

Got a defi gauge and was wondering if someone could point out where to tap 12V, 12V accessory, and illumination wires near the steering column. I could only find posts of people connecting near the stereo harness. I would like to avoid that as I would have to run extensions from the gauge wires to reach to the stereo area. Unless this is just the only place possible.

I tapped from the cig lighter for my vent gauge. I'm sure there's other places you can tap, but I'm not sure of anything near the steering column that is easy to access.

Cig lighter? I got a 2010 there's no cig lighter in the front. its in the center console.

Seems like I will have to extend the wires to reach the stereo area and just use the ESC guide from there I guess.

Thanks

I think you can also tap it into the trunk button next to the obd.

OK so I decided to just run extensions and use the ECS guide. I ran into a problem where in the guide it says to tap the green/yellow and brown wires for 12V ignition and for ground. But i don't have those wires at all in that area. Is that from when the cigarette lighter was in the front? Anyone know where else I can get those wires from. The ground not so much as I believe there is a brown and black wire that's a ground.
