what trouble am i going to run into when installing them? any tips or advice and should i try it myself or let somebody else do it? on the auction it said perfessional installation is reccomended so i really dont know what to do. i dont wanna screw everything up in my car.

 

Yes, you need to remove the entire guage cluster. Pull it ou and sit it on a work bench. When you go to install them, your going to need to slide them over the needles. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO MOVE THE NEEDLES! If you do they wont work anymore. You might need to get an exacto knife to make small insicions to where the back part (whit part off the black fulcrum circle) for the guages to fit because they will most likely have trouble fitting... dont force anything.

 

Then you have to get power to them by taping into one of the existing power wires for the stock lights, so when you turn on your head lights the glow gauges will light up. Oh, and remember to take out the stock light bulbs that iluminated the stock gauges. It is not a fun process, but a couple of blown fuses and broken parts of the dash later and it will all be worth it.

 

well sounds like im gonna have a little bit of trouble... if it dont cost too much, ill pay somebody 2 do it.

 

WEAK!

 

well the way it sounds it will take up all my time, and i will screw everything up. keep in mind, i want it working right.

 

do it yourself..more rewarding and better experience..just be carefull

 

playa... You gotta have faith in yourself, man. I understand that you don't want to mess up your brand new ride and everything, thats definitely understandable. But if you never try, you'll never realize that you do have what it takes to do stuff like this. I don't mean anything personal by this, but people who are handed things tend to like having things done for them, because it seems easier. But really if you just dive in, tackle the issue and have us walk you through the process, once your done you'll feel so much better about it. I remember the first upgrade I did on my very first car, it was a complete stereo/neon system (waaaay back in the day). I thought it would be too hard to run wiring, and hook neon into fuses and all that, but the first time i turned everything on... God, nothing is better than the feeling i had right then. We all know you can do it, YOU just need to know you can do it too!

 

Damn, I think I'm gonna cry....
That was just beautiful!
