Installing oem Saab aux. gauge cluster...

into the center dash where my ashtray used to be. The cluster is made up of an oil temp, oil pressure, and a cabin temp gauge(s). I would like to replace the cabin temp gauge with an oem Saab turbo boost gauge, measured in psi's, so if anyone knows where I could get one, I'd appreciate it. Hopefully, Saab made one of them since all of these other gauges have the word "SAAB" on the bottom of each dial-face, and I would like the boost gauge to match.
My main question is, how do I hook up the wiring for the back-lighting of the gauges? I know how to do the sending-unit wiring for each of the gauges, but is there a harness already in the car that is connected to the dashboard lighting control? If so, did Saab ever offer the other half of the harness which would connect to each of the gauges?
When I removed my ashtray earlier this year (to install a Taurus cupholder, that I will now not be able to use), I noticed a wiring harness (that was taped to another harness) that had the word "EXTRA" printed on a label that was attached to it. What is this harness for, and could it be for this purpose? I already have an in-dash CD player, stereo cassette head unit, and a CD-changer in the trunk, so I know that harness does not belong to any of these components.
If anyone could shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it.
TIA
