Where to tap power/water temp on gauges?

Ok I got some autometer phantom gauges and a 1fast t2 gauge holder, great quality, a little sharp on the edges. Anywho... i need to know what i should tap power from, and where i should tap for the water temp?

For both ground and power, you could splice Into the Cig Lighter. For actual lighting, tap Into the Ashtray Light. Fini!

and you replace the stock electronic sensor at the back of the water pump with the one from the autometer gauge, right?

nope autometer one needs to go in. you might be able to get it into the stock place removing the stock one. don't know. might need an adapter. best place is to tap into the water pump housing or pump but that is alot of work as you should remove it first.
