K so i got the glowshift 7 color gauges and im looking at the directions and my boost, a/f, and oil press all have a 12V ignition switch (+) wire and a Battery (+) wire, now if i hook up the 12V ignition switch (+) to the radio power wouldn't that supply the power to the gauge? i wouldnt really have to hook up the Battery (+) wire too would I?
 
now im not familiar with these gauges or the set up, but for my greddy egt, it also had a +12v and an ign +12v. The constant went to my battery and the ign wire went to my headlights, so the gauge lights would come on w. the headlights. I did this since there was no need to have the lights on whenever the radio was on. Good luck!

Ignition switched = Power when the ignition is on like a switch probably to switch the color of the gauge.
Battery = Constant power even when the car is off probably a memory setting if applicable.
