if you ask.
I think you should not do it
pay somebody so you dont blame yourself for the mistakes ex:
speedometer not working
gas gage not working
its a lot of headaches..

yeah get someone to do it...it may cost more then the gauges but if you f stuff up you be kicking yourself and it'll cost more to get that fixed...plus if they f it up then you can flip out on the place and have them replace it for free and fix the problem

what kind of gauges do you have first? do they slip over the needles or do you need to remove the needles?

save yourself money, do it yourself. its a good learning experience, its very easy. just follow the instructions. you gotta start somewhere, just have a person with you that knows what they are doing. I imagine out of your friends you have atleast a few that know about electronics. its not rocket science.

&lt;----says do it yourself.

yeah man DIY.
I'm guessing your stock ****'s functional right now, so all you really need to do is examine it before you start unplugging ****, I'm pretty sure it's only like 3 wires or so. ABSOLUTLY no need to pay $50/hr for a job you can do yourself. I just installed an ignition and had never done anything like it before. Unless you're really inept, you won't have any problem installing it I'm sure
BTW, indiglo gauges are gh3y y0, but to each his own i guess

they are sooo easy to install. I would tell you how to do them but there is a how to on Team-integra.net so check it out. The wireing it easy only two wires. Ground and a switched light. The Dimmer switch works great cus it only gets power when the dash lights come on. message me if you need help.
