I prefer to tie it all in at one point so all the original wiring for the gauges or whatever I'm installing isn't cut overly short, if need be it can be moved or installed elsewhere without having to add more wire. On my own car I bought molex plugs and made a separate subharness for the gauges, allowing them to be removed without unplugging each unit individually.

Seriously, it's your car, you have the ability to do it how you would prefer it to look/function. There is no right way to do it as long as the connections are secure, free from potential damage, and nicely installed for a clean look. There's tons of good wiring guides all over the internet if you just want to look at harness builds, solder joints, tie wrap installs, etc.
i actually would like to make a sub harness something that keeps all the connections in one spot...

so how would i go by making the gauges turn on when the key is switched on?

im guessing looping somthing ot the IGN wire

would it be easier to hook straight to the battery and just connecting a toggle switch?
