whatever you do, don't touch that needle. The gauges should be able to slip over them

Don't work for the system, Let the system work for you.

Well my gauges came with a transformor or an "inverter" that has 4 plugs and the gauges have 2 plugs, so im wondering which of the 4 plugs the gauges go into.

doesn't matter. just plug them all in ans stash the inverter in the left side of the dash....theres a space behind your cruise switches.

if you do have to remove the needles make sure you remember the position you took them off in and use a golf tee tool. what i did with my indiglo gauges was stash the inverter and wiring behind the steering column. if you want a really easy way to wire them up, run the power with into one of the lil bulbs behind the gauge cluster that light up with you turn on the lights and then ground them to a good bolt
