Not trying to slam ya here, but if you don't know enough to even study some schematics, find a fused/ switched power supply to tap into, and know what a chassis ground is, maybe you ought to get some help...

For the oil psi and temp, get the adapter from Racing Beat. It has a couple of holes in it to attach your temp and psi line.

Lighting the gauges is simple if you want to have some type of switch. I didn't want some switch lieing around so I pulled off my gauge cluster, and I got behind the tachometer gauge and tappped into the 12v input for the gauge lights. Now I can dim my autometer gauges with my factory gauges all from one switch.

Mounting them to a autometer dual gauge pod is extremely easy. Mounting the pod is easy too since clips are supplied.
