easy installl... but... DO NOT take off the needles... simply slide them trhough the temp VERY carefully... if one needle pops off you're screwed on what ever gauge that was...

This is totally the right process. Its easy to install. But you need to be gentle while sliding it through. Originally Posted by Spaz

Easy install. I found it best to drop the steering column, didn't say to do this in the instructions that came with em.

I removed the needles.
Just mark where they are, and don't flip the ignition to on.
Took about 20 minutes.

over time mine kinda raised up behind my speedo needle causing it to drag and hang up at 40mph. I took the cluster back out and with a little help from some crazy glue the problem went away. ill never be able to take it back out without the factory gauges looking like shit though . like louis said 20 min or so.

Yeah, mine came with the printed instructions to either take to the car or read first. Originally Posted by Mr. Luos

Took me about 3/4 of an hour from start to finish. I bought the Macewen ones.Last edited by BIG GUNS; 01-05-2009 at 05:26 PM. Reason: edited text
