    how many wires for boost/oil temp/ other guages?

    Im running some wire for a wideband guage right now and i was thinking i might as well run some other wires for more guages later. Im thinking boost and oil temp? Well anywyas im just wondering how many wires i should run through the firewall for each?

      just one wire for each is my thinking, ground right next to the gauge, one signal wire through to the senders, and then two wires for the lights. So total of 4 wires for each gauge?

        Extra wire to the headlight switch, so they light up at night too maybe...........grounds could go to the other ground point.

          yea, the light wire would probably be tied all together and then you could run just one wire from the light switch to the gauges, same thing for the power wires.

            so it sounds like 1 total for power, one for each for signal, 1 ground, and one for the lights. any one know a good place to splice that down by the sig lighter? maybe i should just have them stay on all the time?
