Wires needed for gauge install

So i got a pillar pod with the three gauges, i got the water temp, oil temp & pressure gauges, the mishimoto oil sandwich plate and a coolant hose adapter. As far as i know this is what i need other than the wiring (sensors came with the gauges). As for the wiring, i don't know what im doing there, i know the wires that come with the gauges aren't long enough, and i need to extend them. What exactly do i get? if anyone could guide me that would be great. I have a S1 btw.


Would this work just fine?

that wire should work fine but what gauges. its been years since i installed them but mine needed constant power, illumiation, keyed power, ground and the signal wire from sensors. they came with jumpers to daisy chain the gauges

Didn't get anything expensive i doubt it would need all that, just got some cheap gauges off amazon don't think they even have a name, but all try that wire and hopefully everything goes smoothly.

Thank you, i got the wires and they came in and they look good, at this point I'm just doing research to figure out how to wire it correctly.
