gauge wiring

[boost addict]

so im wiring in my uego, oil pressure, and water temp gauge but i dont know which wires to splice into. i suck at wiring and i tried searching. i calls for a 12v, 5v, 12 acc, and headlight wire. doesnt matter what wire i just need someone to tell me which wires i can use. thanks

for the 12v use the radio - assuming you are going to put them near that area

I was thinkg about that, but which wire is that. My oil press and water gauges call for 2 12v acc wires and the headlight switch

I don't recommend tapping your radio wire. If anything you could do what I did which will make things a little bit easier and it adds a fuse inline so that you don't run the risk of frying any of your new toys. There is a thing called an ADD-A-Circuit (http://www.repairconnector.com/products/ATC-ATO-Add-A-Circuit-Fuse-Holder-Tap.html) and it plugs right into your fuse box. They sell these at any auto parts place. Then you find a fuse that is ignition power source. I used the cigar fuse since it comes on with the key. This only comes to a single wire but not to worry since it is a decently thick gauge wire. I would also get a power distribution block so that you can run that single wire power source to the block and voila! Now you have multiple places to wires gauges or what ever you have that needs a 12v ign power source. I used this as a distribution (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103982) only bigger, which I got at radio shack and I just bridged the connections on one side and it left me with 6 connectors for gauges, wideband etc. Hope this helps and if you need pic lmk.
