After you take the whole gauge cluster out and pop-open the cluster cover, they just stick right in there. Is this what you needed, or do you need EXACT detailed instructions?

be very careful to not get the glue anywhere, i felt the chrome gauges where more difficult then indiglos, remember that if you don’t glue them properly they have a good chance on falling out while driving, I’ve also noticed that after a week the rings see to have slightly moved… bad glue

use the write up from www.Maximadriver.com for the indiglo gauges but just press the rings on the bezel and reverse the disassembly you did up to that point after the clear plastic part comes completely off...

cool, that's right I forgot about maximadriver.com. I'm sure there's a great write up there. I got the rings in a group deal. look in the group deal for the thread.

Mine slipped too...I gotta redo the speedo and tach rings...this time I'll probably try some quick setting epoxy. Anyone else notice that once the rings are perfectly centered, they're actually not really supported at the edges at all? They appear to be just resting on the gauge face itself with no other surfaces for attachment.
