Searched and couldn't find what i needed.. (swap related so i posted here, sorry if it should be in the interior/elec)

I'm installing an oil pressure gauge and a water temp gauge..

they are both electric and were made by prosport.

My questions are... do i need to tap into things for the probes/senders or are there stock places i can bolt these into? Or..... should i tap the wires off of the stock sensors?

ok for the oil pressure you have 2 options...you can use the gauge to replace your stock oil pressure switch (then your low oil light on the dash would remain off) or you can get an adapter like this and use both
