How does the 7 way circuit work. Is it good if your planning tohook up lights and guages.

I would hook the gauges up to the dash lights, that way you can dim them with the dash lights.
For lights (assuming you mean driving, fog or backup lights), you don't want to run the juice for the lights through the Painless circuit. You want to run the juice through a relay and control the relay with voltage from the Painless. I think the Painless 7 way block is rated at 20 Amps. I run 2 100 watt Lightforce off-road lights. That is 200 Watts. 200 Watts off of 12V = 17 Amps. That doesn't leave room for much else on the block. I send +12V from the Painless to a relay and switch ground to the relay to turn on the lights. The lights get +12V from the battery then through the relay (The current for the lights never goes through the Painless block, just through the relay).
