Not sure if you're looking for wiring information or the gauge install itself. As far as wiring most have a harness that runs from whatever you're measuring to the gauge. You pretty much just connect the harness and then wire in a ground and switched power. As far as mounting the gauge, it depends (obviously) what size and shape it is. Some fit directly into the a/c vents, some use a gauge pillar / pods, and some fab up brackets. I know this really basic, but hope it helps a little. Whatever direction you go, it's very easy. I'd never done it before and didn't have any issues.
