To specify, i mean for installing white-faced gauges in the cluster.

Remove gauge cluster from car. Remove clear plastic shield. Take the gauges and slide them over the needles. (Do NOT remove the needles. The gauges should fit over them, but you'll have to play with them a bit.) Use double sided tape or some form of glue to attach them to your factory gauges, making sure the needles have free movement. Neither the needle, nor the base of the needle, should have ANY contact with the gauge face throughout their movement. If they do, the needles will not move smoothly and could possibly stick. Run wires to appropriate places (ground and any wire that only has power when the parking lights and headlights are on).

Instructions could be more in-depth, but I don't know the year and model of your car.
