Wiring aftermarket guages

The person i bought the car from mounted an engine temp gauge and an air/fuel gauge but he never ran the wiring for them..except for the power. I think its stupid to have gauges installed but not have them serve their purpose. I tried searching but to no avail.

So what do i run the wires to to make the gauges functional?

what type of gauges are they is the first question. after you find that out you can then figure out if the sending units are instaled (probably not in this case). then you might have to just run the wiring if the sending units are there, or buy the correct sending units for those gauges. nothing too major, just very stupid that the previous owner did not correctly hook them up
