It's not that hard, the only hard part is coming up with a creative way to make the overlays stick to the face so that your needles don't get stuck. What I did was take some 3M double sided tape, I covered the whole backside of the overlay, just trimming off the excess, then I put them on. Then I took some fine grit sandpaper and took some material off from the bottom of the ring on the needles. Haven't had a problem and theyve been on for almost a year now. (knock on wood) Good luck!

 

I agree. It's not that hard but the first time I did it took me like 3 hours. Now maybe 45 minutes or less.

 

taking off the dash and everything else is the easiest. sliping the new guage over the old simple. getting the rpm and speedometer needles to go a headache. i had to trim the new guage to make the needle move luckly its hasnt done any damage to anything yet. other than that it should take no more than an hour or two to get it going right. good luck

 

When I did it, it took me most of a night. Mainly because it was a kind of trial and error process in figuring out how to keep them from interfering with the needles. In the end, I made templates and drilled some holes in the new gauges for the screws from the stock faces and then used a little super glue around the edges.

The tough part was trying to figure out how to handle the needles. I was installing reverse indiglo gauges so they were white during the day and black at night. My stock needles were white so this presented a problem. Tried red translucent paint first, which was a bit dark. Then tried red Sharpie. Worked great til I put in blue LED bulbs. I guess red and blue light don't mix. I finally ended up making the needles a light baby blue color using thinned blue sharpie ink. Just enough contrast during the day and allows the light to shine through at night.

BTW, nail polish remover and Q-tips work great for removing paint and ink from the needles.

Must have taken the gauge cluster out at least 5 times that first week to play with the needle color. I'm a pro now. 5-10 minutes.
