If you have never taken the cluseter out, expect about 40-50 min. Otherwise, you can get he job done under 25. I didn't put indiglo's in, i used white faced w/ red lettering, and i am glad i dint go the indiglo route. Indiglos are more of a pain in the ass to install, and done look that much different from min when illuminated. Our cluster bulbs are almost a hyper white stock, so they light up the white faces a light blue/hyper white color.

i would say give yourself and hour or so and dont force anything, if it does pull out right away check for more screws. This was the first "mod" i did for my car and i didnt have any major problems Good luck

Sure thing! Just lookng at the pics it is kinda hard to tell they are not indiglos. The two pics on the right are them illuinated, and the other is not. Those are without flash on the cam. Gives off a great almost hyper white glow, but from outside the car, through 20% tint, they look like normal indiglos. I love them, and they were cheaper, RED LETTERING!, and easier to install

**BTW, scored them on eBay, just like everything else on my car, Price aroud $25.00.

yea dude those look noice! did you change the bulbs that shine down on the gauges? They look whiter than mine!

one thing i cant get over with aftermarket gauges is that none of them have our cool-ass font! If there were reverse indiglos with our font i might get em, but in the meantime the blue LED backlighting will do

Yeah, i had the blue led backlight bulbs in first, and then they started to look preatty cheap when they were lit up. Some spots were signifigntly brighter, and for the same price as the bulbs, i got white faces. I didn't change any bulbs, i just removed the backlighting ones, you could see the outline of the numbers through the whie face. The stock bulbs that shine down have a blue covering over them, and give off surprisingly white light. Yeah i loved the italic font on ours, but it had to go! Im glad you guys like them, let me know if i can help you out in any other way...
