The lighting wires for my egt & boost gauges are linked together. Can I link in my new fuel pressure gauge light wiring or should I run separate lighting wires? Or, could I splice in the light wires to the led for the alky kit? There is too many wires behind the a-pillar gauge holder already so I'm trying to keep them to a minimum. Is there a neg & pos connection for the lighting? The guy who installed my gauges used blue wiring, not black & white. Yes, these are probably dumb questions, but I need some advice.
 
I would splice it in to the others (not the LED for the alky though) to keep it clean, and there should be pos / neg connections for the gauges. Hit em with a volt meter if your not sure which are which.

Found pos & neg wires for the lighting, but my boost & egt vdo gauges are not labeled + & -. Should I just hook them up & see what happens? My new autometer fuel pressure gauge has black & white coming from the light, so that's easy. If the vdo gauges have the + & - switched, will they still work? Thanks, Tim
 
You can go onto the VDO website and find and download the installation/instruction brochures there.
