Default escos banana pod help

hey folks, needing some help please,
just bought a set of gauges to fit into my mk5 rs2000, would just like to know how to go about wiring up the gauges as they only have the pins sticking out of the back of them, im hoping someone will have a diagram of what the pins are for???
cheers joel

The two pin one is for the lights iirc. There is a connector, which comes off the clocks on an Esc cos and goes to the banana pod. I think two of the 5 pin one was earths, but can't remember which.

ok im jst tryin to figure out how it will work as i only want to fit it if i can get all the gauges working correctly, my gauges have two wires from bulb to bulb so can only assume thats for the power and earth i can only assume this is because there was a fault maybe??!!, so only really need to figure out what the 6 pins do?
i will try and get a photo up to show you what i mean

the banana pod dials are powered by an incertor on the escos dash clocks as they dont have bulbs and im sure its something stupid like 100volts that goes through them

thanks very much for the diagram mate, ill have to show it to someone up here and see if they can translate it into baby terms for me to understand, electronics isnt really my strongest point thats for sure hahahaha.
i will just have to research which senders i need to get for the oil sender and turbo sender and then hope for the best!!! lol
