Question two wires of oil temp sensor?

I am in the process of fitting a oil temp gauge and an boost gauge. On the oil temp sensor there are two wires when i thought most sensors you only connect one wire can somebody help?

Thanks

It might be auto-gauge.
Are the 2 wires black and red ?
If they are wire as before.
Red to green (from gauge)
Black to car boby (earth)

Hasn't it got a 3rd wire for a backlight?

All the autometer ones I've used normally have 4.

Earth, Live 12v, signal and switched backlight....
