There would not be any problem running the illumination for all three aftermarket gauges off the same radio illumination wire, or any other illumination wire for that matter. Some pick up the lighter illumination wire. All of them go to the same fuse anyway. Not sure what color they are.

I ran power and illumination from radio to three gauges in gruppe S no issues at all. I did however have some grounding issues and ran separate ground through firewall to block, WB likes a good ground. No issues
