The gauges should have come with an instruction sheet that shows what color wire does what how to wire them up to acc / light power

here's the oil pressure as an example

I personally use power from the ashtray lighting and cig adapter. I pull power from the cig adapter as 12v, and the light bulb that lights up the ashtray I tap into for the 12v switched to signal the gauge to change color.

I've a different perspective. I value anything that helps normalize driving a daily driven custom boosted 8. I run the Prosport
- intake air
- coolant temp
- oil temp
- fuel pressure

...and have all their alarm thresholds set appropriately. While I do monitor them...there h/b times during spirited driving that I get caught up, and don't. A time of two the alarms have gone off alerting me that temps were climbing into concerning ranges, and that slaying that Camaro, BMW, Mustang, etc. was NOT the most important thing in that moment. Beep and squack at me please!
.
Tanner, Glad you got it sorted.

I'm not particularly into having a multitude of gauges (large or small) anymore. I feel they are very specific for a 'style' or type of build and for that purpose, they work great.

I personally am heavily considering the new Defi link. Should provide all the metrics you're looking to monitor and the display is fairly reminiscent of the Cobb v3 (to me) in certain ways. Looks like a very nice piece imo.
