Installing Gauges...

[Alero04]

Im thinking about getting those white gauges but i was told they are a bitch to install.....is this true? and if so...just HOW ahrd?

[bigd6983]

they arent hard.......4 screws for the shroud, another 4 hold the gauges assembly in, unclip the wiring harness and its out......i think clips hold the clear plastic on, line the overlays up, wire it up, and ur done......its not hard just time consuming.....

^^^ he's right... probly the thing that took me the longest was wirin it all up, but total it was between a half hour and an hour.... but it was worth every second i love mine

i'd actually say the hardest part was getting these gauges linned up perfectly. like having all the code lights being even with the face and the RPM's matching the speed, heres mine if it helps.http://img56.exs.cx/img56/5779/Nov24061.jpg its actually not that hard if you know what your doing.

its easy, you should buy em from speedhut, more expensive than the white reverse indiglo ones on ebay but i love mine

gotta match the theme

[bigd6983]

i have the indiglo ones like alero and stealth up there.....the hardest parts are lining it up and running the wiring, i just tapped into the fuse that turns on all the interior lights when it gets dark........

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

wiring it simple. Positive lead hooks up to the gray wire going into your guage pod. Negative lead goes to the screw in he firewall (ground)

-Alero- said it best: lining it up is a bitch. But with the speedhut's, it's a bunch easier. All you'd have to do is make sure that they are centered behind the needle. I've been in that part of the dash so many times, I can install guages in about 20 minutes. Just give me an exacto knife and some electrical tape. :thumbsup: (and a flathead screwdriver and the proper hex bit...:P)

[Alero04]

lol see i was told u gotta take the ENTIRE dash apart....and i live in canada...can u get em in km/h instead of miles.hr?!

[Alero04]

oh and also...i dont know wtf im doing! LOL
i gotta find some place around here that can do it for me

[Redog]

[Alero04]

Sorry about bring this thread back from the dead, but... are your needles stock or custom?
