well, its not too hard, i can give you a breif write up here. im gonna go on the notion that you dont know how to take your dash apart either. first, youll want to tilt your steering wheel all the way down. the only tool youll need is a phillips screw driver...maybe a stubby one at first. you can see the lil trim ring that fits inside the main dash board...feel up under there and there are 2 phillips head screws, remove them. now, put your hands on the plexiglass and try to get under that trim ring from the bottom..give it a good tug, it will break free. pull that outta the way. youll now see your guage cluster. there are 4 screws (one in each corner), remove those. after that, grab the cluster and give it a tug..it will come right off. pull that outta the dash board. now, youll start removing the plexiglass peice first. there are just lil tabs all around, be carefull not to break them. pull it off. now yoll see the black bezel thing that goes over all the gauges, pop that off too and remove. now, i dont know how your glo gauges are...if their like mine you wont have to pull off the needles...on most you dont. if you do, then you have to re calibrate and i have no clue on that. ill go along like you can just slip em over. now, some people leave the stock gauges on and install the glo's over it. i cut mine off (the stockers) and then installed the new ones. if you flip over your assembly, youll notice there are several lil black knots....those are your light bulbs. some people leave them all in, i took the ones for the gauges out. its important to leave all the warning lights inside. if you opt to take out the lights, you might wanna leave in the ones for the needles so they light up, i didnt, you can see them good enough against the glow. anyways, decide on that and leave or take them out. now, after you cut the oldies off or leave them on, slip the new gauges over teh needle, be carefull, dont get rough. if i remember corectly, youll need a smaller phillips head to remove a couple screws around the fuel and temp gauges. youll have to losen or remove those and slip in your new gauge and tighten them back up. try to keep the gauge from getting too close to the needles, it can keep them from working if they bind it up. run all your wires out of the assembly and re-assemble the cluster. attatch all the plugs up to the wire commin from teh main control box. as far as ground, just find a suitable ground. for power, use a volt meter or test light to see which wire comes on with the parking lights. im thinking its a white with green stripe. just go through and check and connect that to your hot from teh box. before you button it all up, try and see if your gauges work correctly as far as lighting up. if they do, button everything back up and your done. its pretty simple, a good 1st job for the novice electrician. if you have any probs just PM me or catch me on AOL sometime. hope this helps man! -----------------------------------------
