i found them on procarparts.com, but is that a good price.. like 50 bucks?.. does anyone know a better deal??.. and are they hard to install.. i want them soO bad..

 

Thats where I got mine from. You could also get them from Ebay. But I rather get them brand spankin new. I haven't recieved them yet so I dont know if they are hard to install. I heard that it is easy though.

 

No they are not hard to install. I did mine earlyer this week and it was really simple. Heres the instructions if you get stuck. The instructions that come with the gages are really non descrpitve and varry from car to car. Heres how to put them in our cars.

Gage Install

FIRST, Take off all the molding around the steering column. there are screws underneath. easy.

NEXT, The cruise button and the dimmer need to come out. use the smallest flathead you have and pry it between the molding and the button housing. there are 2 prongs on the top and bottom of these housings that bend in and clip when it is installed so you need to work at getting these to bend in to pull the housing out. unplug them.

THEN, there are 4 screws for the black frame housing that covers the plexi, 2 on top and 2 you will find in those openings where you took out the switches. you will need a long philips head to get these out.

THEN,slide the housing over the wheel (put the wheel all the way down).

THEN,to get the gauge cluster out, remove all the screws holding it in, and also remove the steel frame on the top of it. you cant get it out without removing this stupid little frame. there are 3 or 4 plugs on top of the cluster that you need to unplug, and dont worry you dont to mark them they only fit their respective holes.

NEXT, remove the plexi from the cluster by removing the clips that hold it on. very easy.

THEN. once the cluster is out and the plexi is off, install the gauges by removing the screws on the old gauges. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE NEEDLES, THEY DONT COME OFF... YOU WILL BREAK YOUR NEEDLE ROD CLEAN OFF.

slide the gauge hole over the long part of the needle, then bend the gauge down and slide it over the back of the needle. BE CAREFUL!

VERY IMPORTANT STEP: remove the 4 bulbs in the back of the cluster directly behind the gauges. this is 2 fold. one you dont need these anymore and the lights will have a blue plastic around them that you can use for really neat interior lighting! (wow!) also, these lights might be bright enough to shine thru the new gauges, im not sure, but better safe than sorry! Leave the 2 middle ones so you can see the odometer!!!!!!

are 2 wires out of the transformer for the indiglos. a power and a ground. but first put everything back except the black housing piece that goes in front of the plexi. make sure your new gauge wires are off to the right and can be pulled through the hole where the dimmer switch goes.

there are 3 wires that run into the back of the dimmer harness. run the power into either red wire (both work) that goes into the back of the dimmer harness, and the black into the black wire on the harness.

put everything back

 

u are friggen dope man (kiljaedoen) .. thanx alot, now im gonna go order these bad boys =D.. ..
hey repo, how long have u been waiting for ur gauges??. coz my one friend said that they lagg on orders.. but i dunno.. o yeah, how much was shipping? =D.. im soO excited.. hehe

 

Well hopefully I should be getting them tommorow. Thats when they said it would get here. Then again it's coming by UPS ground so depending on them it might not get here untill Tuesday or something. I ordered them this past Friday so if they do get here tommorow its not that bad. Shipping was like 13 bucks! But thats because I ordered other stuff also. Either way I'll keep you informed on how the installation goes.

 

no problem, i just got mine in and hope to have pics up latter tonight

 

hey those intructions look familiar. i hate typing. nice cut and paste. ur precision is godly. ha. im still debatign wheter or not to change my gauges. i want the orange needles in the 98+ cl. not to mention their centole console also.

 

HEy if you ever do the center console let us know how it goes and where you got it, how much, etc etc

 

Yea whenever i see instructions on something i think might be useful in the future i save them and print them out. Comes in handy
