I just got these gauges from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2426660137 ('http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=43952&item=2426660137')

I would like to know are these gauges difficult to install. and do these come with directions about how to do it or would i have to figure it out myself? and does any one have a WORKING link to a tutorial on how to install these gauges on my car because i really dont want to make the same mistake that others have made. i would really appreciate the feedback.

from what I see, those are just overlays, which are extremely simple to install. You just slip them over your existing gauges, and screw them down. You will have to tap into 1 wire, dont make the mistake of trying to splice it like I did, just tap into it. Theres a tutorial you can follow thats really simple to understand. When you do it, or before, I recomend testing what your stocks do, incase you mess up the needles. Fill up your tank all the way, find out where it idles at, temp. after 10 min, etc etc. Then you should be set. Good luck!

ok well if these are the AC ones, you wont need them... pretty much there are wires running from each gague, to the power which is connected to the wire, or rather tapped into the wire of the dimmer.... when you get them let me know and I can help you with it all you need. You shouldnt need any bulbs

yea those are the ones i got...i paid 90 bucks back in the day for em....damn new products.....well anyway be very careful with the gas gauge part...i broke mine before...also take out all the bulbs behind the speed/rmp and gas or else you'll get an ugly shine...but other than that just be easy and you should be fine...oh yea and dont loose the screws haha

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>I just put in those same gauges and the look nice. the only problem I had was the exposed wire leading down from the gauges, if you haven't already I would invest in a carbon-fiber or chrome bezel to hide them; but other than that they will look great.</div>
