I hate effing with the dash cause 1 small misshap like the gas gauge will really set me back $$$, go here....http://search.ebay.com/Alero-Gauges_W0QQfromZR41...look further down in the selling gauge page and it'll link u to installation....im getting my mechanic to do it for me since they know what they're doing, costing me lik$10-$20....I recommend u get it professionaly installed.

see, is not just throw it on gauges, these r electric blue glow gauges, you have to WIRE it up which means fiddling around a bit underneath the dash to

also what your doing is replacing the old gauges which means taking that out which is a tight fit. u really need small fingers to unwire it, and put in the new lighting regulator....I have huge fingers

I got my new guages sitting here along with the new bezal too. I just haven't gotten around to putting them on yet. Hopefully I'll have time today after I finish my honey-dos. Maybe I'll even get my new rims on too. Should be pretty simple to install. Just gotta find a handy spot to hook up the wires and mount the new dimmer. I'm hoping to just mount it in that area just below the normal one. We'll see how that goes.
