Y0, big thanks to stanger for setting it up they're gonna look really good. Did anyone get 3m tape with theirs?... just wondering cuz I didnt, I guess Ill go pick some up this weekend, Im guessing its gonna have to be really thin??

- NoVa -

it doesnt have to be by the 3M company, just any double sided tape will do

no prob

please note I spelled his name as stanger, which was hard because I play Counter-Strike with a guy whose handle is stranger. LoL, needless to say I cant wait to put these buggers on

just use elmers rubber cement. it would work much better.

they're coo...I Just need to get the RPM gauge to com down...kinda a annoying process >< i'll try again when I buy double-sided tape. I have this double-sided foam crap that sux...

I used 3M double-sided tape and it worked wonderfully.
Don't use rubber cement cause it will most likely fuk something up.

whats a good store to get 3m doubled sided tape?

All the double sided tape I've seen is far to thick. Rubber cement is great to use. You apply it to the gauge back, then to the gauge in the car. Let them both dry, then put the new gauge on. Push it down and it won't come loose without really trying. Plus, if you make a mistake, it's an easy removal. (and it's paper thin!!!

Would if you want to remove the gauges in a copy years say because you sell your car and the new owner wants them off? thats why tape seems more practical

double-sided tape iz sold anywhere that has school stationary items...

I just used the heavy duty double-sided Scotch tape that I got from Wal-Mart

Just got mine too. Thanx Jstanger, these bad mamajamas are going in tomorrow if I don't get too busy. They are going to look super tight.

i used scotch tape on mine, somehow messed up my fuel gauge tho, it stays on 1/4 tank no matter what i do **shrug**

the tape is too thick. : )

Use PRYM double sided tape for the guages, its damn near paper thin. You can find it at walmart in the arts and craft section. If your looking for a good ground for the negative wire, take the panel off thats under the steering wheel and there is a body mount to the bottom left. Now after your all said and done, use black electrical tape to wrap and cover the rear terminals of the dimmer control. If you don't then get ready for a good zapping if you press your finger back there, beleive me I was driving when I touched it . Hoope this helps all

where did you run the positive wire too?... Im at a loss on where that goes so that they work like the old gauges. or will both be running together, meaning do I not disconnect the original dimmer?.... need help... thanks

Just strip the positive a little and pull out the tail light fuse (aka parking lights)put the exposed wire in and then reinsert the fuse. Done deal. About the stock dimmer, leave it there. It still controls all the other panel lights and with the guages installed you won't be able to see the stack lights. Plus it lights up the needles and odometer.

Thanks dude, so this fuse is in the panel left of the steering column?... and Im guessing Im pinching the wire into the the socket with the fuse, thats a neat idea. LoL, how long did it take you guys to get these babies in?, cuz my GF is visiting and I dont want to take too much time away from her, but I want them in my damn car, LoL, thanks again

45 minutes and went with the radio fuse T
