Default Boost Gauge Illumination Question

Spent a couple days trying to find a previous post similar, maybe my wording is wrong.

Nonetheless, I recently installed a ProSport boost gauge on my Pu and everything works. Tapped 12v accessory into CIGAR fuse and then the wire, which would normally goto headlight or tail, into the green wire on the BCM harness (it was easier to get to and it only got power when the headlights were switched on).


Here's the issue:

During the day the gauge color will change when I hit the headlights on but at night it stays one color.

Does having the tech package play a roll in this?

Found out the auto on headlight feature interferes with how I have it wired. As long as I manually turn the headlights on and not use the auto on the gauges work as normal. Will eventually go back to the wiring diagrams to find another wire to tap.
