Need to know how to hook up a shift light, oil pressure guage, water temp guage. Would like to put up a pillar guage that has a shift light, oil pressure guage, water temp guage. No idea how to hook any of them up. Does each guage come with it's own kit or will I have to rig on up myself and how do I hook them up.
Since I have an empty engine bay it might be a good idea to figure out the wiring now espicially since I'm sure it has to go through the firewall. Thanx

Yea the shift light will prob come with 3 wires...white, black, red
the red to a switched 12v, Black to a ground and white to the Pink/Black wire that hooks to your coil......
oil pressure should come with 1 wire that goes to the sending unit they supply...red to switched 12v, black to ground and they may have another wire that goes to your headlight switch to turn the light on in the gauge at night..
water temp gauge is the same just a different sender...
It is all really easy once you get them and lay everything out...

Actually you can have all of those in one gauge. Aeroforce interceptor, I have everything you listed plus fuel pressure. You have to buy a kit for the oil pressure and fuel pressure to work on analog 1 and analog 2 of the gauge. Plus, there are many other items you can monitor with the unit and it also acts as a scan tool / code clearer.
It's the one I have in my A/C vent:

Not necessarily. The Analogic Gauge they offer has four 5v inputs for various sensors (which in the OPs case would work perfectly). This is the route I am planning on taking when I decide that the factory gauges aren't accurate enough. The only drawback is that you can only view two of the inputs at one time, not all four (but you can cycle through at any time).
