Also, how hard are these to install if I already have the aluminum bezel rings installed?

Just a question...

on the speedometer, shouldnt MPH be physically below KMH? I think thats how it is on my vette. If so, will this cause the MPH speedometer speed while illuminating the letters KMH?

Can you do total custom gauges or are the samples you have all you do?

Ill try and answer both questions.

I do not have directions but if you put the needle into the hole and slide it on you can push down a little on the face plate and it will pop over the center. Ok not the best answer but that is what i did. Be carefull

I installed my bezels last year and put my face plates on this weekend... it doesnt matter cause the where the faceplates are installed is a differant part then then where you put your bezels.

Thanks Steve, I will try to gently pop them over the needles. Would you mind answering a couple more questions?

1. What wires to you connect the converts too and where are these wires located?
2. Should I reinstall the OEM guage lights that are located on the sides?
3. Did you take remove the gauges to install the new face plates?

Thank you again for your help!

Not hard you will just have to take your cluster out again and connect wires in the back.

I don't. EL glow will be the same color no matter what colors you choose (at night). It's the indiglo watch type effect. Check out the links in the first post.

They won't light up like they do stock when you switch from MPH to Kmh These cover those up.

The wires:

Connect the Red wire from the inverter to the Dark Blue wire coming out of the Dimmer Switch pack and the Black wire to Black.

I'd probably select white faced with red illumination.
