Yep. Then the two wires for the light inside.

Where you put it is up to you. I made an entire new panel for all my new guages.

Re: auto meter gauges

Not sure what the harness you bought is for, but you can just run a single wire on its own to the sending unit. Just as long as you have a wire going from the gauge to the sending unit, that's what matters.
