I can install it without removing the black piece eh? Is it tough? Or just requires steady hands and delicate navigating? I prefer not removing anything at all so do you have any advice how to install it without removing anything?



yeah... you sort of move the needles up to the half way point and slip the gauges over them . its pretty easy . youll know what i mean once you start doing it

also .. you migt want to glue them down because they tend to rub and make the needles stick. once you glue them tho, your original faces will be ****ed up, so you have to stick with glow gauges forever.


Think double side tape wont work well?



some people have had luck with it... you just have to make sure you buy the clear thin, see through stuff. it didnt work too well for me

ill give you a super tip:
when u glue or tape them, here is a good way to test if the needles with rub or not. lay the cluster on a table, and blow on the needles with your mouth. the air should be enough to move the neeles smoothly all the way up and down. if they stick anywhere, then you know they are not right.

if you do the same test by hand, youll sometimes think its fine, and then have them rub on you when you install them.

Sorry for being a bother regarding this. I just dont wanna mess up. So moving the needles is ok?

And um, where did ya tap your power from? P.light fuse? And how did ya do it. Did you splice or just use a tap connector?

Again, I appreciate your help. biggrin.gif Thanks a bunch bro.



its cool man. i just wish we kept talking about this on the forum, so that others might benefit... but anyway....

you can tap into the wiring that goes to your dimmer knob.

or ... go to a local parts store, and buy a fuse box tap. its like a 2 prong plastic thing that goes inplace of your headlight fuse. then it will have a place for 2 fuses, one for your original headlights and one for the new circut. it also has a wire connected to it, so that you crimp that to your glow gauges power line, and then just ground the other one. makes for a clean instal, and you dont have to hack and splice into the cars factory wiring.

Posted our PM so if anyone has trouble like me can refer to this. What color is the headlight wiring again?
