Wiring up 3 electrical autometer gauges. I suck at wiring so I want to make sure this looks semi legit. A couple questions:

-is it ok to splice all three guages into one wire and then splice that wire into the ACC power wire and ground wire as shown in the diagram?

-is it ok to splice the illumination blub wires into these 2 wires as well?

-The cigarette lighter wires look to be either 16-18 guage. Will these wires be able to withstand powering the gauge and illumination bulb for all 3 gauges?

If this setup looks completely retarded, please give me some opinions on possible changes.
