Default Wiring Gauges

Finally got some real gauges. Autometer Sport Comp series 3911 5" Tach, mechanical oil pressure and water temp. I was wondering where the best place to wire them into power was. Is it possible to wire them into a fuse in the fuse box and have the back lighting come on when I turn on the parking lights/headlights. I know if that is possible, you have to wire the positive to the correct side of the fuse, not the "hot" side that is always on (correct this if I'm wrong, I'm not that great with electricity). Also, can I just wire my oil pres and water temp wires together and run those into the tach wires so I only have to run 2 wires into the power source instead of 6. Thanks in advance.
