Help Installing gauges

I just bought a boost,air fuel, and coolant temperature gauge and was looking to see if there was a write up on how to install them for example. How to run the power from the ignition and if I should use a fuse. How best to connect to the dimmer switch. Where to run the line for the boost gauge from etc. Seems simple but I want my instillation to look professional and be reliable. I am a little afraid to start pulling the dash apart since everything seems so fragile I do not want to break anything if I can help it. I searched but couldn't find anything, Thanks guys

Thanks, Wish he would have shown how he powered them. Mine say connect to the ignition. I don't want to hook it to a button or to lights because I run with my lights off sometimes.

IIRC I tapped into the lighting for the cigarette lighter.

That way the gauges will brighten or dim with the dash lights.
