for vacuum meter is easy lah... just t joint any vacuum hose in ur engine then connect to the meter inside ur car...

for volt meter much more easier... just tap the +ve to any +ve line exp smoking adapter... then ground to body only....

ya... very easy only
the harder part is.. how to pull the vacuum tube from engine bay into your car
and another harder thing is how to find source for light for your gauge...

other stuff is pretty straightfoward and easy. :D

good luck in DIY

your voltmeter has how many wires? if only 2, then u can connect them to Batt.

my parent stay at Tmn Duyung. My bro is a mechanic in Senawang, crazy in car-mod oso. Mayb u or members there may know him.
BTW, BEFORE u connect ur voltmeter to batt, pls get a handheld multimeter to measure the 2 wires n make sure they r not shorted. This is VERY IMPORTANT! If the 2 wires are shorted, pls DON'T use :emoticon_U:
