What is the best way to wire multiple gauges?

Is there a trick to avoid running 6 individual fuses?

Yeah, run them all off the same fuse. The current draw through 6 gauges shouldn't be more than a couple amps. I have eight Autometer gauges running off the same fuse with no issues.

Obviously, your illumination would be run off a single wire and tapped into your dash wiring for the illumination diming.
