Gauge wiring

[4G Power]

I recently decided to tackle the fire hazard that is my a-pillar gauges. The previous owner has it horribly wired, wires just stuck under fuses, running all over, bare wires, etc. I'm cutting all the old wires, pulling the gauges and putting new Prosport Evo gauges in. I want to wire it clean and nice, but I have a few questions.

- Is it safe to run all 3 gauges off 1 power wire? Or do they each need their own?
- Which wires should I tap into? I understand for most gauges I'll need 2 accessory powers, ground, and headlight switch.

Thanks!

Any power will be fine for main power for all 3 gauges i would tap in a larger power wire an splice out into 3 smaller wires one for each gauge and as far as the grounds use the best ground you have closest unless its a AFR gauge i would tap straight off the battery.
Accessory powers can all be 1 line and all 3 gauges tapped from that
and 1 wire for each headlight switch for the lights unless you want them light up all day tap them to accessory power after.

Strangely enough, I wasn't able to splice all three of mine into one hot accessory wire. It was a small wire though, so make sure yours can safely supply all the power.
