Whiteface Gauges Ok, Since I haven't been on here all winter and I can't get the search to work worth a crap anymore, could someone please point me towards the howto on installing the gauge overlays?? Thanks in advance
If youve already bought them, you just slide the opening over the needle and then back at an angle. If it replaces the entire stock assembly, you can do the same thing if you point all the needles is the same direction.
Its been years since I installed the white faced gauges on my last car but I don't think that sliding them over the needles will work the holes aren't big enough to get over the back part. Mine came with a tool for removing the needles. Once you get the gauges out and take the plastic cover off remove the needles and put the white face on. I think your supposed to mark were each needle was pointing and put it back on in the same spot. I didn't do that and I had play a guessing game every time I drove the car because all the needles were way off.
turn your key to the on position, mark where the needles are on the old face. now remove the cluster, remove the needles with that tool or use two butter knives under the base and twist up to pry it off evenly.
peel off the old face, put on the new one, use some rubber cement if there is no glue left from the original face. replace needles, install and go.

I just put my whitefacegauges.com gauges on...they fit right over the needle bases. No needle removal was necessary.
Just make sure you're using soapy water in a spray bottle to "lube" the stickers so you can move them around.... then install the cluster and turn on the lights to see that the overlays are not covering the numbers.
If it's good, then just squeegy the overlays down and re-install.
It's that easy, goodluck!
Hope this helped.
at home i've still got the instructions, and i can scan them for ya.... tonight.
