Are you asking for a diy on wiring the gauges or placing them somewhere? Or both?

I put mine where my HVAC controls were. There were already 12v and dash light wires there so it was easy wiring. I made a fiberglass pod to fill the hole.
your gauges will come with directions telling you what to connect each wire to
Use a test light to ID the dash lights and 12v wires you need.
solder all your connections & heat shrink to protect them.
I plugged right in to the HVAC plug so I wouldn't have to cut the harness.
all done

I might have taken some pics, but being my first fiberglass experiment, it was kind of a mess. It's probably as much bondo as it is fiberglass 
Start by building a mold out of cardboard or foam core, but make it a little smaller than the size of your DIN. Then I covered it in fiberglass, a couple layers, and took the foam core out. Then lots of sanding, filling and finally painting.
