the pros you get something different to look at and not the ugly greenish light color of the factory gauges.

cons??? none really.

if you arent afraid to try DIY mods they arent hard at all to install, just takes a little patience dodo the job right. (about 2-3 hr install)

The reverse glow gauges only come with the mph prominently over the kph. Plus don't bother looking for other gauges cuz there are only two aftermarket sets for the TL - the reverse glows and the glow gauges (both available at that second link, procarparts.com). If you really want kph, you'd have to do something custom - either get the speedo gauge redone or cover it with stickers, which would look ghetto if not done right.

try procarparts.com they have good gauges too....

how hard is it to install? it depends if u have patience, you will be removing the whole dash, unplugging everything, and this is the hardest part: installing yer new gauges without breaking a needle....if u break/damage any needle, you will be buying a new instrument cluster.

its not hard, just takes a while to do it right.

on a scale of 10 they are a 3. only because of having to take your time. dont worry about breaking a needle like TeknoKing said. they just slip right over with out any problems. the biggest concern is geting just enough tape in the right places to hold them on, but not to much so that the needles bind. its not hard taking the dash piece off, that only takes 10 min or so to have it on your table and apart
