check out the home page and look to the left panel and look under "how 2". look under cosmetic and they should have "install indiglo dash gauges".




oh by the way, before you post something try using the search feature or else other members/moderator will get on you. i don't mind though. welcome

go to the "how 2" section..


it is in there..

 

just a warning...getting that gauge cluster out isn't quite as easy as it sounds. there are many of those damned Nissan clips that they use so liberally in the dash that are a b*tch to get out (i hate those things). but besides that, it's nothing but phillips-head screws.

the trick to getting the screw under the steering wheel out is you must first remove the plastic panel right in front of your knees, then remove the metal plate that's directly behind the plastic panel. you'll see what i'm talking about once you get to it. also, having a 10mm socket is handy for getting the metal panel off...those screws are in there tight.

good luck.

 

i jus installed mine awhile ago...i thought it's gonna take me 30 minutes but it ended up for 2 hours =X

jus takin out the dash took me about 30 minutes, there are couple phillip screws under the steerin wheel, and look for especially the hidden on under and behind the steerin wheel... i couldn't find it at first, but the steerin wheel should drop down rite away... make sure ur wearing a hat or somethin jus in case u get hit by the sterrin wheel cuz i got hit =X

then the dash itself should be pretty easy, jus remove the two screws on the top of the dash and gently pull it out with consistent force...

lastly wiring could be tricky... read FAQ about it
