I am getting some indiglo gauges and I dont trust myself to install them on my own, I was wondering how much did it cost anyone with the indiglo gauges to ge them installed?

Thanks Everybody,

an import store around me told me 30-40 dollars for installation...i dunno if thats a good deal but it sounded good to me

Man when I got mine, it was the first time that I had ever done anything like that before. It really wasn't that hard to do. Plus you will feal great after you get them hooked up. But if you wana pay 30-40 bucks go right ahead.

Yeah, do them by yourself, it feels good when you're all done...somehow i did my Dr Cold Air by myself, felt good after it was in and knowing i did it myself

The only reason we have other people do anyting on our cars is so we can have somebody to blame.

Tru!

And also so their insurance can pay for their fuk ups instead of the money comin out of our pockets.

Yes very true! The only reason I dont want to install them myself is that I am not good at that kindof stuff, I mean it took me 8 hours to install a head unit and replace the speakers in my 1990 corolla, and when I was done with that I forgot how to put it all back together!

To me it looks pretty hard. I took the cluster out on Saturday to see if I could put more double stick tape on to stop the sticky needles. I did not see how I could have pulled the gauges out. I chickend out when I saw my temp needled jump. I was like forget it, I'm going to break it. I did not try to take out the needles because I have this fear of breaking them. I did however, upgrade my inverter to the new more powerful 2-color inverter to make my gauges blue.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get over my fear of breaking the needles?

IMPORTANT NOTE FIRST: the following instructions will direct you to REMOVE your needles. I did it to mine and it works perfectly. BUT i found out later that you do not have to remove them. The needle is a two-piece and i heard that it is possible to remove just the pointer, while leaving the black round part attached to the gauge cluster. Try to do it this way first, and if you can't seem to do it, DON'T! You don't want to break the needle. Anyways....continuing on...

Could you show me a pic what part of the needle will come off?

I just paid $50 to get them installed, I dont mind paying $50.

$50 ain't too bad as long as they did a some-what professional job and didn't let wires hang everwhere and put the control for the gauges somewhere you wanted.

i did mine in like 20 minutes...with your price that is like 10+ dollars per hour...read the how to on here and you will be fine...you can remove the needles (i didn't) but just remember where they were...

did you have to remove any part of the needles to make them fit?

nope


just push it real hard...don't be worried about breaking it...it will work

or you can clip it a little and it will slip over fine..

yea i installed mine -- not hard at all.

man don't pay for that... i got 2 of them for my tiburon about 2 years ago ... it's easy, just be careful with your needles.

another tip... if you want to wire them to your parking lights fuse, then buy one of those in-fuse things that connect to one of your fuse sockets and it gives you a spare fuse to use. understand what i mean?
