Are gauges easy to install on accords?

I just ordered new nice lookin gauges for my accord, and noticed they aren't shipped with instructions... Anyone familiar with installing gauges?

are you talking about the gauges that go in your dash or mechanical/electrical gauges that mount onto a pillar pod. they are both fairly easy.

yeah, specifically the gauges in the dash for speed, fuel, RPMs...

Is there an online guide that anyone knows of installing these gauges?

Concerning the "gauge faces" for the gauges in the stock instrument cluster, remember ONE thing. DO NOT REMOVE THE NEEDLES. The faces should be flexible and you should take all steps necessary to touch the needles as little as possible. It could potentially cost you $60-$90 a piece to replace these gauge motors if you were to accidently mis-align or un-calibrate them. I'm saying this from experience. lol, not fun! I don't mean to scare you away from this common modification. It's quite easy, so long as you know all the precautions before installation.
