you'll have better luck finding write-ups on how to install indiglo gauges. It's essentially the same procedure, minus the need to open up the front cluster cover since you don't need access to the speed instruments. Good luck.

1 Set the height of the steering column to the lowest it can go.
2 Remove the plastic bottom cover to the steering column, it's the piece that's above your knee. There are two screws near the bottom, and then pull out.
3 Remove the Metal shield covering the bottom of the steering column. Two 10 mm bolts here.
4 Remove the bolts holding the steering column up, two 12mm bolts. Use the extension if you have trouble reaching up in there. Drop the steering column down.
5 Unscrew 2 screws holding in the top of the dash, it's the plastic cover underneath that overhang.
6 Pop down the top half way. Using some firm BUT consistent pressure, pull back on it, removing the cover from the dash. There are four little clip holes red arrows) that are holding it in, so besure to find those clips. Remove the three screws holding in the dash cluster.
7 Unhook the four clips in the back so you have access to the back of the cluster.

Write-up can be found on the How-To Section of http://maximadriver.com/
