oil pressure is simple, water temp is sometimes a PITA and volts is stupid simple.

solder your connections and wrap it up in shrink tubing. It's not hard.

ok maybe i dont get this, where do the wires connect to ?

the sensor wire connects to the sensor, the guage +12v goes to a switched 12v source. You can tap into your radio's 12v power or any of a dozen other systems. The guage -12v goes to a chassis ground. The guage light can be hooked into the dimmer power on your headlight switch (a 12v probe light will help you find it). You should be able to ground it at the chassis but don't twist the light's ground wire with the guage ground.

Other than that... RTFM.
