I may be cracking up, but I'm SURE I found the same question in general and electrical? Maybe it's just me.

The gauges usually want permanent and ignition live, plus an earth. After that, SOME want a feed for lighting too.

I WISH they were all the same but they aren't. Have you tried the Autogauge website for fitting instructions?
