Gauge Installation Help!!

Ok, well i just got my pillar pod, and gauges, and i was going to hook them up today but dont quite understand the instructions.. well it says to find the engine warning light sender, and i was just wondering where thats at?? and also when hooking up the light for the gauge it says to hook the red (positive) wire up between the dash dimmer switch and dash light wire, does this mean i find the wire running from the dimmer switch to the dash lights, cut it, and splice this wire in? im pretty confused.. lol

Thanks for any help!!

for the light if you dont wanna get into behind the cluster cover, just run a wire up to and splice into the wires goin to the parking lights. this way the light will come on when your parking lights come on. then it should just be the clear tube running from the sending unit (on block dr side) to the back of the gauge.

ground it anywhere to metal, and find a 12v (key source) for power (if needed)
