Installing Gauges but confused on a few things help would be appreciated
First I wanted to know if all the gauges would still work if I hooked them up like this

Then I wanted to know for the power source which grey/red wire is it behind the gauge cluster there are 3...
is it the one I did it on?

2?

or 3?

in the middle of this so any help would be appreciated o and how do I ground it? do I need to get a grounder to put behind a bolt or can i just stick the wire behind a bolt and screw the bolt in? a bolt such as the grounder for the cig lighter

thats a very thin wire to support 3 bulbs of 5 watt each. either use led bulb or pick a different power source like ignition or a new power wire. i think the red/black wire is the one for dash light.

what year is your car. i know for 01-02 the dash light is on the blue connector and its the red/black. now you can test these wires just get a tester with led light and connect one clip to ground and then put the test point into each pin to see if it lights up when dash lights are on.
