Hooking up an electric oil pressure gauge, is this how? *PIC*
Should I just connect the light bulb wires to the IGN and GROUND terminals, then connect wire to those terminals as normal?

Re: (Osoboosted)
True. Now on the under-dash fuse/relay box there are 4 "Option" outputs. They are: +B, Dash Lights, ACC, and IG2. IG2 would be used to power the gauges right? would "+B" or "Dash Lights" turn on w/the parking lights? what exactly is +B and Dash Lights?

Re: (ALL MOTOR LS)
i have a 240, but its all similar. sorry i dont know your option things though.
my ign source is from my lighter hotwire, the signal goes to sender, the light positive can go to any parking light source or dash/instrument lighting (still a parking source). i spliced mine into my dimmer switch so that i can control them with the dash lights. u can also get away with putting both grounds from the gauge and the light bulb to a same ground. i originally had my ground running out to the engine bay but it works just the same grounded inside somewhere.
