and the two smaller rings are indeed a tad large. what type of work did you guys do to make them fit? cuz it looks like the inside diameters' too big to properly fit in the backing.

thanks

You have to sand the two circles in your gauge, they have to be made bigger.

thanks. i was afraid of that since i was hoping to return the car to stock when i sold it. oh well.
how about the outside diameter? it seems to push against the upper part of the housing and shifts it down to the inside. i'm in the process of bending it in little by little right now.

i dremel'd them larger, veryyyy carefully.

it came out well.

and oh, the housing only costs $30 so you can always buy a new one if you ever want to sell your car.

yup. i ended up dremeling the two smaller gauges and installed the bezels. looks nice, tho i don't know if it was worth two hours. i'll have to wait till tonight to see if there's any light leaking out.
