Ok, so I just bought a Black Reverse Gauge Cluster from PCP (Pro Car Parts) and I really really like the way it looks, but the directions that came with it are a bit confusing. From what I gather I need to just put the new cluster over the old cluster? Because the new bits don't have the little teeth that catch the needles when they go down.
Does anyone have any install pics of their gauge clusters from PCP or how they look now? That might help me in my installation!

the ones I got just lay over the stock gauges.. I had to remove the needles to install them but i realized later that the round part of the needle comes off to help the overlay go over them..

def try not to remove your needles! the round cap yes you can but not the actual needles, you will never be able to put them back in the right spot and your gauges will be off

I bought an extra gauge cluster for like $30 to play around with it and I can't find any other way.

I like it alot. I have the same overlay but the power inverter died and when i put the new ones in i may copycat your needles. -------------------- 94 Celica ST - CAI, CarPuter, many interior mods!

Malpaso - Slipping them around the needles seems like the good choice. Is it difficult? And I'm assuming they go on over the old gauges (just the mph & rpm?)? And where did you get your gauges? Mine look sorta like those (the new ones from PCP), but yours are hot! Thanks for the info guys.

Thanks for the info guys. Not difficult at all and you are right old gauges. Just cover them, that's it... and I got them from e-bay

Those don't look like it. The inner ring isn't lit up. If you look at PCP's reverse black glow gauges, they look similar to those; only the lights look different/brighter.
