#12272, "Installing indiglo guages..."


          

I've had my guages sitting on my desk for 2 weeks now and I'd like to put them in soon. Is it possible to install them yourself? because from looking at the dash, it doesn't look like an easy task! I have no clue how I take the console apart to get to the guages. Please help.
Thanks.

its honestly the easiest thing in the world to do. as long as you dont mind splicing in to some wires. just undo the screws from the top of the bezel two screws, drop the steering wheel w/ the tilt. pull the bezel out. you'll now see another four screws one in each corner undo those and then the gauge cluster pulls right out. once you have it out just depress all the clips on the clear plastic that'll pop off, then the same thing w/ the gauge overlay. no you have full access to the actual gauges, just lay the new ones over the old ones slide the needle through the holes, you may have to undo the screw on the fuel side to slide it on. put everything back together. now as for the wires, if i remember there should be 3, a ground, a power and another one that connects to the light switch wire. put the ground to a good ground, the power you can hook up to the ciggarette lighter and the other you'll have to go upside down under the dash find the green wire with the white stripe(maybe its the other way around white with green stripe(maybe someone else will know), it connects to the auto dim switch if i remember correclty. then splice into it wrap it up and bam. hope that gives you some what of an idea... its been a long long while since i installed the gauges. its honestly not that difficult i promise
