first, unscrew the 2 screws on the gauge plastic, take it out, there are also some clips.. the whole gauge piece just unplugs, just give it a pretty good tug. then undo the plastic covering, and the black plastic.. you should now be able to get to the original gauges..
if its just plain white and no indiglo or anything like that, just put it over your original ones.. for the ones that light up.. put it over the original ones, connect the gauges to the transformer.. and then connect the power wire to a wire that will be "hot" when you turn on your lights.. its green (might be green with another colored stripe, not postive which color though).. test the wires with a multimeter or something similar. to connect the wire, strip some of the wire from the green wire (don't cut it).. then with something pointy and thin, split the wires so it looks like a circle.. thread the power wire from the gauges through the hole, press the hole down so its flat, and loop the power wire around the green wire so it'll have a good connection and won't loosen up.. if you'd like, solder them too. Then tape up the wires or use heat shrink to keep them from grounding out or anytihng like that.. do the same thing with the ground wire but either connect it to another ground wire or attach it with a screw to the metal chassis of your car.. that is about it.. there should've been instructions with your gauges.. good luck
