Why don't you ask the seller first?

i've never installed guages but looks like you just gota pop the guage out and slide that thing on. then just splice those wires to a power source and a ground.

take the tweeter covers off
take the screws out of the upper panel
take the screws out holding in the gauges
take the screws out of the gauges and take it apart
the face plate comes off
you probably just slide that one on in place.....and i guess the wire attaches somewhere

but just so you know.....i have seen that gauge installed and it clashes really bad with the rest of the dash

a better choice would have been to swap the el gauges from the 94-96 and if that's still not enough get some high quality/clarity blue/red/whatever color film and make a cut-out just like the gauge face and lay it over to tint the light

I picked up a set of these from Pick-n-Pull for $2.99. I also got the gauge cluster. I have a few pics here.

First you take apart the dash. All you need to remove is the plastic peice above tha gauges. There are like 10 screws holding it in.

After that you have to take out the gauge cluster and to do that you have to take out like 4 screws for the actual speed/rpm cluster.

Then you pull it out and unplug all the plugs.

After that you take the cluster and there are 4 tabs holding the plastic face on. I think you also have to take the white plastic off the back and bottom too.

After that you pull the face off and take out the 4 screws by the rpm and speed needles.

You then fit the face around the needles with out breaking them.

Then replace the 4 screws and go in reverse order.

I have to check but there is a wire that goes to the fuse block that you can tap into so when you turn on your parking lights the face will light up. Hope this helps. I will be pulling my dash apart tomorrow and can probably get some pics. Here are some from someone who tinted their gauges blue.

GOOD LINK but you have to be registered

Here is a pic of mine when they are on. You can see them down in the bottom right. Yours are gonna be different but I thought I would post up a pic of what mine look like.
