So ...... never done any wiring apart from 1 guage 1 time with insructions
Just tapped into a predetermined ignition on fused with supplied tap ..... ground and away we went.
Bus bar. Fuses, Circuit load, so on.
Can you do this ?
Assuming each gauge (5) draws 3 amps for 15 AMP total.
Assuming 5 prongs for each gauge
3 for main sensor - (12v IGN, Sensor and ground).
2 for lighting (12v and ground)

1) Run a RED 10 gauge wire from a fused ignition fuse to a bus bar. Then run 5 wires from bus bar to each of the 5 ignition wires.
2) Run a BLACK 10 gauge wire from good ground behind dash to bus bar. Run 2 ground wires from each gauge (guage and light) to the grounded bus bar.
3) Run a WHITE 10 gauge wire from fused lights on source to the 1st gauge. Daisy chain to the remainder gauges in a line.
4) Run each sensor wire directly to appropriate gauge ... or if it needs to be fused .... then ..... something like ?

SO questions ......
1) whats wrong with ^^ am sure lots.
2) If you tap into an existing circuit for say lights - how do you not overload ?
3) If you dont tap into an existing circuit .... how do you do it for like key on or lights ?
etc
thanks
