Installing white face gauges
 Submitted by s1ckdrag0ns
  1. Pull off your dash (two screws in top of gauge housing) and it should just pull off from there (there is 2 clips toward outside of door, 2 in middle where your hazard light buttlon is, and 2 after the middle vents.)
  2. Once you get that off, disconnect all of the switches (hazard, rear defrost, a/t hold - if you have it, dimmer, and fog lights - if you have them too. And if your car has a factory security system, you will need to disconnect the little red light too.
  3. After that you will have access to your intsrument cluster. There's only four screws to take out. On the back of it there are four plugs, just disconnect those, dont worry about which slot they came from, the plugs will only fit into the slot they came out of! Once you have that out, glass off then, the black gazel, and walla! You now have access to your factory gauges. LEAVE THE FACTORY GAUGES ON!!!!
  4. Just unscrew the tiny screws for each gauge and put the white one right over it. "DONT ASK, JUST TRUST ME."
  5. Then just follow the instructions that come with it for hooking up the gauges. You will have to make tiny slots in the black gazel for the wires to go through. It will tell you that in the instructions.
  6. Once you have the gauges in and all lined up, slots cut for the wires, put the black gazel on first! That way you can make minor adjustments to the turn signal and gear position gauge.
  7. Then put the glass back on and put everything in the way you took it out. Dont forget to hook everything back up.
NOTE: Hook the gauges up and see if they work correctly before you put everything back together. "Not too difficult. The only real tricky part about putting them in is splicing into the headlight wire for power."
