Stock Gauges?
One Wire To The "BAT" Terminal Of The Horn Relay And One Wire To The Terminal Post On The Core Support.

Factory amp gauge? The pic shows one connection for the factory amp gauge going to the main splice, which is how the factory wired them, but you can use the horn relay buss bar. Add 5 amp fuses on the amp gauge wires near the horn relay and junction block to protect the gauge and PCB board. If you have a aftermarket amp gauge, get rid of it (they are wired differently) and get a volt gauge.

no aftermarket gauges

You mean there are no aftermarket gauges OR NO, they are aftermarket gauges?

What a difference a little comma makes.

So it's a true amp gauge then?
I would use a volt meter instead if so.

Get rid of it, that amp gauge is nothing but trouble. Like it was said, put in a voltage gauge instead.
