Default VDO boost gauge question

Hi all, since APR's kit doesn't include the electrical connector for the bulb, where can I get such a beast? And what gauge size wire should I use?

I supposed I can just stick the wire ends to the 2 prongs at the back of the gauge and wrap it with electrical tape... thanks for any suggestions!
