Ive just fitted these to my car, i tapped into the wiring harness for the radio for all the connections. Red to permanant live.. Black to earth.. White to a live that come on with the ignition switch.. Orange to the illunination on the radio,(the colours are the one`s on the prosport cable not the radio harness) the gauges will go red with you turn the cars lights on when wired like this.

i had to buy a wiring adaptor to fit my radio and all the wires on the adaptor had what they were printed onto the cables which helped alot . but as i remember it its red permant live, yellow ignition live, orange for illunination and black for earth.. red and yellow might be the other way round i`ll have a look when i go out later

you could try emailing gaugeplace apparently he`s quite helpfull, they do a replacment sender which comes with the cable, might be worth asking if he`d just sell you the cable.
