OKay I was reading the instructions on here for the gauges and I didnt get very far!!! I cant get the factory dimmer switch out...the cruise control came out easily. I got the brackets out but its still stuck in I didnt want to keep pulling it because i didnt want to mess anything up! and whats the deal with hookin them up to the factory dimmer some say yes some say no. how else can you hook them up!!!?? Even if it has its own switch

Did you already pull the guage cluster out? You can pop the dimmer out from the back if need be. The dimmer has 2 clips on each side that hold it in.

I hooked mine up to the dimmer, no problems. Your not going to use the dimmer once you get the indiglo's on, so why not use them??

Anyone know where I can get some indiglow guages?? Everywhere I go people say they don't make them for my car...

97 black 2.2 acura CL...

They don't make them for the CL. The ones for the Accord is the same one. 94-97 Accord indiglo guages all over EBAY.

no i havent popped the gauge cluster out i cant get to the screw behind the dimmer cause i cant get the dimmer out

blackacura54

I still cant get the dimmer control out do you have to pull on it hard or something??

melo72

Well, the manual just says to pry it out. I would use a small flat head screw driver. The clips are on the right and left side of the switch.

thanks i used the flat head and got it out past the clips but it wont come out any farther

melo72

Yeah, that's because the wiring harness doesn't have enough slack to pull it out. Your gonna have to try to disconnect it before your able to pull it all the way out. Can you get to it from underneath? Maybe push wiring harness with the screwdriver while pulling on the switch from the front?

Sorry, it's been a long time since I took mine out.

yeah, when i did mine the dimmer wouldnt come out because the wires werent long enough. i ended up breaking the dimmer control because i got real mad. i also ended up breaking the glass covering, and the fuel and temp gauges. so i ordered new parts and its all in now.

anyone else have any suggestions??
