i got in my gauges for christmas for when i boost. im hoping to install them soon but im not sure the best way to wire up the constant power and on/off power. any suggestions would be great. thanks in advance

gotta grab an EVTM and a test light. You'll need to find a constant 12v source with key on and tap into the dimmer for the back lights.

should i just splice in or use an add-a-circuit?

I wouldn't use the "tap splice" style connectors, they aren't a great connection. I would cut and splice the wires with solder

You can pick up both switched and unswitched power in the fuse box by the passenger side kick panel. Use a VOM to see which fuse block is hot or not. I use a piggy back fuse block to add a circuit. They are nice units. If you need the web address to get them let me know.
