Electrical Gurus - Come out!!! Need Help

[NYBronco]

I have a new centech wiring harness and am trying to light all of my gauges on my dash. The problem is the harness only has light connection for the gauge panel and I have 6 autometer gauges in my dash. Can I just splice in, one additional light on each set?

Thanks-

shouldn't be a problem I have one in my truck

Depends what the guages pull amperage wise. I suspect that there are many out there that just splice in and go, and have next to no problems with it.

The optimal way to do it would be a relay. Activate it with the one light wire you have, then run power through it to all the guages.

Yep, just splice in, the small lights in gauges draw very little current. I wouldn't bother with a separate splice for each gauge. I would do groups of 2 or 3. I added 3 VDO gauges to my dash by not 6.
