I did my girls last week. If the car was here I'd take pictures.

I got the 7pc set from ebay for $23.

- remove dash (2) phillips screws on the top of cluster(guage bezel)
- remove (4) philipps screws releasing cluster from dash
- remove plastic cover over cluster(be careful, I let the woman contribute and she cracked it)
- speedo, tach are both held on by (2) small philipps screws
- secure (2)^^above^^white faced guages with the philipps screws
- the other 5 can be removed with delicacy
- replace other 5 with the white replacements
- attach (4)connectors to the main guage power supply
- Run power supply behind dash to the right so it will hang behind the centre console
- insert (4) philipps screws to secure cluster to dash
- insert (2) philipps screws to secure gauge bezel
- remove cap hiding (1) philipps screw, remove screw in console(between hazard and rear defrost buttons)
- pop out centre console with flat head screw driver
- remove deck (4) philipps screws
- locate indiglo guage power supply
- splice power of indiglo (+) to (+)illumination on cd player
- splice ground of indiglo (-) to (-)illumination on cd player
- mount your [< >] remote for illumination power supply control
- mount cd player, insert (4) philipps screws
- install centre console
- install (1) philipps screw, screw cap

You are good to go!

Hey CanadianG!

How do they look?

What did you pay after taxes, duty, delivery, conversion etc. in Canadian dollars?

Thanks.

its alot easier if you take the bottom half of the steering wheel off and locate the headlight wire that way they will come on when you turn on you headlights im im not 110% sure but i think its the orange wire w/ white line you might want to double check then find a ground theres a good one on the steering wheel just above the pedals

i got em but they are a pain in the ass putting them over the needles i dont think they are ricey but they are so damn bright they light up my whole damn car

id like someone to confirm the headlight wires or the running lights wires.......id rather connect em to that

i just went out and check its a red wire with a yelllow line split right into it and you'll be fine (orange w/ white line i was way off)

later,
jeff

I think I paid $23 gauges + $20 US shiping, I never had to pay duty tax. It was weird. I had to pay on my grille ***. Both my clear corners and indiglo was duty free from Procarparts.com
