They are NOT OEM. They are made to OEM specs.
They shouldn't be hard to install. Especially since you don't have the gas and temp needle on the one left side section. Just be careful when sliding them under the needles in your cluster...those needles can be easily broken!

Oh come on. The guy likes them, the guy bought them. He's asking for help, not criticism. Seriously.
I'm not sure what all you have to do for the wiring. That should all be in instructions that come with the kit. Just take out your factory cluster. Just take a second and look at it - study it. You'll be able to figure out how to take the clear face off just by looking. When you get it off, your going to take off all needles. I don't know how yours is going to be, but for my 90 hatch, they came straight up. BE careful - they break easily. I used a small flat head. If a needle doesn't come up with ease, there is a reason. So stop and check it out.

not true for all cars....these guages are meant to slip on...DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE NEEDLES..make sure you thoroughly read the instructions!!!
i had similar guage faces on my 92 civc..tried removing gas needle and broke it all because i didnt read instructions..had to buy another cluster just for the temp/fuel to swap in...anyway, you slip them on top of the guages and needles go thru the center...still becareful when doing this..

That doesn't make sense. How on earth would they just slip over the needles how they are?They have to be removed. Time for some Google.
