its glued in spots...try to cut through the glue with a razor blade. be careful and pry each glued spot off, 14 yr old glue doesnt hold well so it should break before the plastic. just be careful with it.
if they are the gauges that you have to take the needles off to put on... i wouldnt even bother using them cause your just gonna ruin your cluster!

You shouldn't have to take the needles off if you are careful. You can bend the indiglos slightly and kinda "thread" the needle through the center of them.

ive never had a problem before........ sorry bro, ill make sure never to reply to any of your posts again.
you have to break each spot that is glued separately...not pry it from one end and try to rip it off! wtf did you do? that plastic is brittle, its not meant to bend or have any load put on it at all. i dont know what you did???

does anyone know where to hook up the power wire to the guages. the guages are the ones that have the switch that turns blue to green

if you broke something GO TO EBAY. they have them cheap.
im sorry but if you can't figure out how they are installed you don't need to be working on your car. they are overlays they go ontop your current guages you just slide them on.... this is like common sense. look at the problem and figure it out...
and you try to blame someone else for your dumb *** mistake... nobody said you have to do it...its your own fault for f*&king it up. YOUR FAULT!

U could hook it up to your ashtray light. That one comes on also when u turn on the lights. I followed the wires all the way to the back (read underneath) of my dash.
Good luck

splice them into the same wires for the cluster, use an electrical manual or a test light, its not to tough, took me like 10 min
