they aren't very hard to install unless you have to remove the needles. else you pop off the outer plastic thing, take out the 4 bolts and the whole cluster comes out. it's not very hard.

You have a choice of two different styles. What I'll call an overlay and the replacement gauges.
Mac Ewen, makes an overylay that simply said is a decal that goes on top of you exsitng gauge face. You slide the decal over the needle and Wa La, white face gauges.
NRAuto, makes replacement gauge faces. Not too ahrd to install just a little more time consuming since you ahve to pull the needles off and the OEM gauge face to install them.

My macewen silver overlays were very straightforward and simple to install. Just follow the directions and take your time <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I got white faced gauges and it looks like I have to take the needles off any ideas on how to get the needles where they need to be to read right. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

WS698ta, the MacEwen gauges will run you 100 for your T/A and look the best IMO. I don't like the gauges where the needle areas and the surrounding ares are all white as it has an unfinished look. Sorry Honez. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
