Default just installed an omori boost gauge but the lights are way too dim.
There were 4 wires coming out; 2 black, a white and a red. I had no idea how to connect it so i just connected the 2 blacks and red to the 75x fuse and grounded the white one. Did i do it wrong? and is there a way to make it brighter?

Default er, were there instructions with the gauge? If so, you should look at them :)
It'll tell you which wires go where. If it doesn't, I'm sure there's a writeup/pdf somewhere on which go where.

Default just run the white line into any of the fuses that are light related (headlight, license plate light
etc.)
