i've got a temp and a pressure sensor at the back of mine, i followed the guide on mig and used the two blanked ports at the back near the oil pump

Do them up until they feel tightish then nip it off, i would wait for the engine to cool down alot before you attempt this to ensure its comfortable to work round. Also less out may seap out when you remove the blanking plates

My oil pressure come from the same place as the original sender, temp comes from a blanking plug just above it. For the lights they just took it off the back of the headlight switch on the right of the steering wheel.
