I would like some help with installing indiglo gauge or a few tips and the steps to take the gauges out of the car if someone can help me? I just want to make sure i do this right and not brake or screw something up.

someone said the best way to do the fuel gauge is to turn the needles for the fuel and temp so they are pointing the same way??

Don't make it too hard on yourself. Your fuel gauge and temp gauge can both be removed bij screwing out three screws (each) from the back. Take them out and then install the indiglo. No need to remember how much fuel you have in the car... when you reinstall it, the needle will be right.

Above is the best way i found two for the fuel/temp guage, there are three brass screws on the rear of the fuel/temp guage, remove these and the whole dial will come out, just take your time and remember how everything was before !!. I filled my tank with fuel and set the fuel guage to max, to date everything working fine, no probs.

Wiring is easy, put the negative of the indigos onto a bodywork screw ( behind dials on fuel/temp side ) and put the positive of the indigos to your existing dimmer. At the dimmer there is 3 cables, a red, a black, and a red/black. " splice the positive into the red and black cable.

Rpm guage, and speedo should be no problem, no need to uncrew these from the cluster.

Flick the rpm guage to make sure youve got enough clearance and there is no point at which it catches.

Make sure your hands are clean !! and dont sweat too much !!.

Dont think your have any problems other than this, sit back and enjoy

I got it done i took my time and just took everything apart. It was really easy to take it out just that crome face plate wouldnt stay on. it was falling off all the time so i just super glued it on. i was driving down the street before night fall and i am thinking i dont see the lights i dont think they are working right. they wort the power plug fell out. took me less then 5 mins to take it all apart fix it and put it back togeather again (it was my 5th time taking it apart...).
