Default Need a little help

Hey guys.
I just need a little help wiring in a set of genuine GT gauges in my XR8. I know that they are crap gauges and I'm better off with aftermarket ones but I have them now and I figure that something is better than nothing. Anywhay each gauge has 5 wires, I imagine that 2 are for backlighting and one would be from the sender and one from ignition power (+) and the other??????. Could someone please help me with this I really have no idea which one is which and I dont want to stuff the gauges trying to figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Does your loom require the dash to be removed? Is it a difficult job to fit the loom? Is it a genuine ford part? and how much $.
Cheers
