Default gauge wiring

Hey all.....

i brought set of vdo dials, and looked through the forum but came across nothing yet that i need.

iv not got the loom for them, as i thought it wouldnt be a problem. the pic here shows connections am i right to say:

g - ground maybe spliced into stereo
+ - switch live
|- ... is that for sensor i.e oil pressure connector.



*sorry on quality

thanks

that would be my first guess.

live needs to be switch via ignition so its not on all the time.

Be careful with the live: it MAY want to be with ign position one, or two.
One is for stereo, two is for just before start, ie: engine run.

And take pics further away, that one is useless.
