Im probably going to buy these for my cluster, is it difficult to install? How do I install this?

 

just make sure that you don't break your needles!!! I had some indiglo's back in the day. It's really not that hard, just take your time....I wouldn't rock them in my car's anymore, but if you like them, get them & enjoy

 

they slip over your stock ones, really bright though

 

Can somebody please post up some detailed instructions please?

Thanks

all i know is that your tach and speedo needle can be removed, the temp and gas ones can't.

i learned that the hard way.

i bought a Si cluster for my DX, went to pull all the needles off, found out later when i went to put it all back together that the gas and temp needles broke when i thought i had pulled them off the pin...had to buy another cluster.

just take the screws that are on the stock gauge faces out, slip the new faces over the needles, reinstall screws. then you're just going to want to route the wires cleanly out of the cluster housing and i tapped into power off of the stock wiring on the cluster. used a "dutch splice" so when i turned on the parking lights, they would turn on like factory...vs. w/ a seperate switch. i, however, dont have a dimmer switch (previous owner cut it out for some reason)...so i adjusted the brightness to where i liked it and then tucked the indiglo switch up and under the dash.

it's really easy...i'm a VW guy and i figured it out (on the second cluster...but has nothing to do with the gauges)....

 

So all I need to do is slip the new faces OVER the needles, than wire up the gauge lights to the existing gauge lights? I just want to make sure this thing is going to work so I don't waste money.

 

it is hella easy. u just slide them over the needles and fit them above ur stock ones....u dont need a write up its as easy as romoving ur cluster and putting it back in

exactly. just pull out the cluster, pull off the plastic face, then CAREFULLY slide the faces over the needles. Then you need to run the wires; I wired mine to the fuse box.

 

And don't be like me who broke the faceplate on his 240 trying to get it seperated from the actual cluster

 

its pretty easy... just make sure you dont force anything... as far as the temp and gas gauges... it just slips over them... and the tach and speedo you will need to take the screws out but not the needle...

 

Thanks for the information!

damn, i never thought about leaving the original gague faces on. i have the indiglo/white faced gauge and was looking everywhere for my stock ones cuz i hate the indiglos now. im gonna see if i left them on there behind my indglos!

 

i've got an extra cluster (si cluster for 88-89) with good gauge faces on it, for 5spd....

my email is onefastveewee@yahoo.com if you want them...

 

like he said about, very bright, gets annoying after a while, it will, but make sure you get a fader switch w/ them.

 

Can they be wired up to the dash dimmer switch?

 

they should have ther own dimmer switch
