| Guage Bezel and Indiglo Racing Guages |
| When I get more pictures posted I can give more details but I will tell you how-to for now. First, remove bottom dash cover (has vent that blows on your calves), this should have four easily accessed screws. Second, remove the dashpiece surrounding the stereo and ignition, to do this there are several tension clips, and two screws under the ashtray. Next, remove dash light dimmer knob, there should be a nut holding it in place. There is one screw near the ignition, and this will allow you to remove the dash piece underneath. It is held on by four clips, be careful with these and pull on them from as close to the source as possible to avoid breaking them or causing white stress marks to appear on the exterior of the black plastic. So now your dash looks pretty naked, so now remove the black plastic cover protecting your steering column. There are about four screws in the bottom of this and you'll need a screwdriver with about a three-four inch shaft (my cordless didn't work). There are two clips (one on either side) holding these pieces together. All I can say about these are 'be careful' they break easily (but ultimately do not matter). Now there are the screws surrounding the guage cluster (four of them) remove these screws, and pull down the last black plastic dash piece from under the guage shade (it's at the top of the guage cluster and attached to the left top cluster screw). Guage Cluster... Crack it open! Just kidding. To open the guage cluster there are about eight little clips that you can release carefully by pressing down on the end of as you pull apart gently. This will remove the clear plastic panel and if you are just installing a guage bezel use your adhesive on the back of the bezel and put it on. Wrap it up you're done... But if you're mounting the Indiglo White Racing Guage Faces then you need to remove the stock guage bezel. To do this you need a flat head screwdriver. Find the clips that hold the black bezel and surround onto the cluster, push the screwdriver between the clip and the mount and gently pull apart. This shouldn't be too much trouble (at least mine wasn't). Now the stock bezel and spacer (surround) come right out. I took my stock guage faces out, but realized that this was a mistake. You should mount your new guage faces OVER the old ones. Use some double sided sticky tape to mount them, then lead the wires up and over the cluster in the small gaps that the cluster has along the to edge. Now you have to tie the wires into your car. Personally I just used my $9.99 multi-meter from Wal-mart and figured out which wires were hot in my old 'dash light dimmer switch', and used those for my new guages, but you probably don't want to go through all that trouble when you can just wire them straight into your stereo wires, cigarette lighter, headlights, etc... If someone has a better way, please let me know... I spent hell figuring this crap out and would have loved a do-it-yourself walk through on this. [email protected] This is all really easy if you follow the instructions. I had a hell of a time figuring it out on my own. |
