Get a test light from your local auto part store, open your fuse box and find a fuse or open terminal that lights up when the ignition is on. you can use an add a fuse, or spade connectors to get a power source. while you're doing that for the power to operate the gauges, look for the instrument panel light fuse for light input.

I just bought some Fuse Kits. The 12v Ignition Switch that powers up the gauges can I just twist 3 red wires and cramp them together??? Plug the Fuse Kit in to the Ignition 7.5A in the Fuse Box???
