    The can be time consuming but there not too hard to do....

    I have a triple pillar w/ Volts, Oil Presure, Boost/Vac...

    The Volts required:

    -12v switched power
    -ground
    -12v dimmer power for lighting
    -ground for lighting

    The Oil Pressure required:

    -12v switched power
    -Wire from gauge to sender installed on the motor (Electric)
    -ground
    -12v dimmer power for lighting
    -ground for lighting

    The Boost/Vac required:

    -12v dimmer power for lighting
    -ground for lighting
    no other wiring due to it being mechanical (used a vacuum line hooked up to the motor)

    There you have it.

    Another thing I highly recommend you doing. If you get the Autometer gauges the stock clear blub in them makes the color a white/yellish color at night a simple and cheap fix (under $5) is go to you local parts store and get a 194R blub which will be red colored blubs. IMO they match the Grand Prix red lighting interior perfect! You only need 3 blubs and they take less than 20 seconds to replace. Some guys mess with LEDs and such, thats up to you. So far my setup has worked great for years...
