The trim gauge needs to be matched to the trim sender, so, again, it is probably best to get an OEM gauge. Since you will be replacing the original gauges, the wiring will be a one-for-one replacement. Make a sketch and take notes of the original configuration, and use them as a guide for installing the replacement gauges.
