Help with wiring! please

So I have my defi gauges mounted and everything ready to go. Problem is, I have major suck when it comes to wiring. The defi control unit has 4 leads; +power, ignition, ground and illumination.
I plan on mounting the control unit where the ashtray is so I can use any wires in the center console, preferably the radio harness.

Could someone please just tell me what color wires to splice into for each of these leads? I'm goin' crazy here.

Thanks

On the clock plug

Pin 1 (LR) Constant hot wire
Pin 4 (YG) Switched power
Pin 3 (PL) Lighting
Pin 2 (B) Ground

1st letter is the main color and the 2nd is the making line.

L-Blue
R-Red
Y-Yellow
G-Green
P-Pink
B-Black

As listed in the 2002 wiring system shop manual

Double check with a 12 volt test light

Well this didn't work for me. The wires all have good connections (I soldered everything) and I tested each circuit. Did I read there was something funny about the way Subaru handles the ignition switched power supply? Anybody have any additional input? I feel silly having this gauges that do nothing.

I'm using the clock plug for my Greddy gauges. Works like a champ. Switched and constant power, light signal and a ground.

I used a 12V test light to verify the 4 wires.

The listing above is straight from the Wirinf diagram.
