Looking for assistance with aftermarket gauges

Alright, first off, the gauges i have are from the Autometer Cobalt series. I have the wideband, mechanical boost/vacuum, and electric oil pressure.

The electric gauges have their accompanying wiring harnesses with them.

My question has to do with hooking up the wires the correct way.

Lighting.
The wideband doesn't have illumination so this would only involve two of the gauges.

I was thinking of hooking up the power wire from the lighting dimmer switch from the dash (the knob you can twist to brighten or dim the lighting on the dash) to the first gauge's + terminal, then a wire from the - on that gauge to the + on the other gauge, then the - on THAT gauge to the chassis ground. would this work?
