I got the OBX gauges because they have that bright BLUE back lighting LOL. Anyway to run all that wire together as one, and hook that up to something as my power source? I think they all come with relays or whatever.

OBX boost
OBX air fuel
OBX oil press
 
The only thing you will be able to hook them together with is power, ground and dimmer.
There's other gauge systems like PLX or defi which use that type of connection. Defi's are a super easy install =)
 
eh I dont understand what you just said. I think all my gauges come with a relay box. Do I need to still have individual relays or can I just cut them off, and tie them all together power/ground/dimmer

any update info on this
 
I'm pretty sure my faze gauges are the same as your OBX ones as they both have the electroluminescent backing. It's better to wire them seperate. The wire that comes from the relay to the gauge is running 300v. So either splice the gauges after the relays in parallel or connect the power to the relays seperate at the same source.When i called faze they said I can hook up to 2 gauges from 1 power supply, but I noticed the 2 I had spliced together were a little dimmer than the rest
