The following is a generic installation guide.

• The first step is to remove the instrument cluster. Removing the 2 screws located in the top portion of the cowl, and gently pulling on the bottom portion of the instrument cowl. The panel is usually on held on clips so you will have to pull it out. Then remove the remaining 4 screws (two on the top portion, and the other two on the bottom right and left respectively) holding down the actual cluster and slowly remove it. Now you have very little room to work with, as the connectors need to be carefully unfastened and removed. BE CAREFUL! Do not damage any of the connectors or part of the cluster's backside.

• Now you will remove the front clear face shield, do this by pushing in the retaining pieces which are found on the corners, then slide it out the clear glass. This will remove the face, and allow you access to the gauges.

  When installing the gauges. Take precautions,
  

  • DO NOT PULL THE NEEDLES OUT
  • DO NOT MOVE THE FUEL NEEDLE. KEEP IT IN ONE PLACE WHILE SLIDING THE GAUGES
  • DO NOT BEND THE NEEDLE
  • THE WORST THING IS PULLING OUT THE SPEEDO / RPM NEEDLES. HOLD THE NEEDLES DOWN WHILE SLIDING THE GAUGES IN.
  • YOU CAN MOVE THE NEEDLE LEFT AND RIGHT TO GET A GOOD SPOT TO SLIDE IN THE GAUGES BUT DO NOT PULL IT UP.

• Carefully unscrew the 2 screws holding the RPM / SPEEDO face gauges on. (IF NECESSARY ONLY - pull the needle stopper slowly! You can damage it if you use any sharp tip. Use needle nose pliers. Slowly and gently push and work the gauges on. You may want to use a rounded tip (like a pen) and push the bubbled gauge where the needle is. If you don't, then it may interfere with the proper operation. The fit will be tight as it is, and having the extruding underside is best to get out of the way. You then replace the screws and needle stop.)

• Next will remove the screws and needle stops on the speedo and need to slide the trip odometer hole over first. Then work the needle in and work the gauge on. This one will require a lot of time. If you did the speedo and tachometer gauges they will have free play. Meaning they don't have any tension stopping or slowing them from doing what they were designed for. After your prolonged battle to get the gauges on, you will string the power lines out of the cluster and place the transparent face back on. Gently and slowly close it to not kink any line. Do not put the instrument cluster back into its place yet.

• Wires Connection: Power and ground leads are hardwired to the power inverter (black box). The power lead (red wire), which has an in-line 1-amp fuse, should be connected to your vehicle's dash lights power wire or cigarette lighter power wire. While the ground lead (black wire) should be connected to an existing ground wire or any clean metal surface.
• 2-pin female connectors are hardwired to the power inverter. Connect each gauge overlay to these connectors.

• Power Inverter, Dimming Switch or On/Off Switch Mounting: (If comes with the kit) Using the supplied self-adhesive foam pad, you can mount the power inverter and dimming switch or on/off switch on any flat surface. Each kit comes with either Dimming Switch or On/Off Switch, but not both.

• Put everything back together in the reverse step as you pulled everything out.
