3 gauge to 5.....a few questions.

Ive never tried to just plug one in..I have always swapped the harnesses also...is it the same plug? Im away from my shop where I can look. I really just want to gain the stock oil pressure gauge. Do I need a complete harness or will the gas and gauge lights work the same? Will the temp work from an idiot light to the gauge or will it not?

Anyone done this without changing the harness?

Input please other than strapping gauges to the bottom of the dash.

You will need to change the under hood harness also.

I read not to plug it in because you will damage the gauges, try this
