Glow Gauges, ahhhhh

Well I will be ordering Glow Gauges within a few days, leaves me questioning for help here. To install, do I leave the current black faces on there? Can I pull the needles off to install it, and what is the best way to wire it, what power source, and ground. I don't want to end up having non working Glow Gauges in a few months time. And any otehr suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Hey I need help :P Or I won't order em lol.

its a pain in the ass.... i refused to fuck with em man. YOu have a 95-99 style, just swap light bulbs..

Okay I ordered them! Can you guys answer my first post here please I need to know!

Since no one else is answering, I'm just guessing but, I'd say you have to remove the black faces and apply the white. DO NOT remove the needles...I think that could be bad. As for wiring idk, idk what the set up is.

thats a very white and red interior you have there.

well at least ur gauges match ur steering wheel. lol jk man

Anyone know exactly? Lance, you cant get it on without removing the needles...

If I remember correctally on the 2000+ it is a BIG NO NO to remove the needles because of some little pin or some BS, basically if the pin flys out you are off to the junk yard to buy another gauge cluster, I have read that you put them on without removing the needles, they are made to slide right over.

If they don't suit you, later on you can also check out http://www.blackcatcustom.com/ they sell a 140 mph conversion and you can have the face made any way your heart desires. any color with any design. I know a guy who is using Autometer cobalt gauges and he just ordered the 140 conversion with the cluster to match the gauges.

I hope some of this if not all of this has helped you out

wait i just noticed that you have the 95-99 cluster, you can pop them off there just be careful not break anything, take your time.

ive heard bad things about blackcatcustom's sevice. dont get me wrong, their products r great, but their service, i heard just plain sux.

well you do have to take into consideration that most of black cats stuff is one off custom piece, those take awhile to make. I am not advertising for them but i make custom parts myself. it takes alil longer to make a one off piece, and takes longer to get them then a part that is mass perduced.

Sorry bout the spelling I am half asleep

Okay so it is okay to pull the needles off?

okay I am really getting pissed off i have had a bad f*cking day as it is, my glow gauges come and i put them in, the god damn speedo needle barely moves because the white face is holding the needle, how the hell do you install these, the supplied instructions on the internet dont help shit, i am really stressing out and punched a dent in my car...............can someone please post instructions.

anyway you could get us a pic of where and how it is hitting. Maybe i could be of more help. And chill out dents in your car don't help it nor the joints in your hand

I got it finally, superglued the white face to the stock black one, it was sitting too far away froom it causing resistant on the needles, so superglue got er down so the needles have free movement, when i have access to a camera I will take pics!

Why didn't you just take the black one off?

The white face is only a piece of plastic and it needs the black one in the back to hold it up straight so it wont bent or anything, i could of told you that but i was in europe the last 2 and a half weeks, hmm i wouldnt removed the needles but if u did, then o wells...

The gauge is gonna go off every time you hit a bump in about 3 months, and im fixing mine so that it doesnt go off, im gonna change the switch, hope it works...

Mine doesn't need the original black face....then again....mines from Black Cat Custom :rolleyes:

your messed up already lefix? I mounted mine with foamy 3m doublesided tape so hopefully it doesnt get too ratlled around.

Well it's been just over 3 months and my guages still work perfectly fine, no problems whatsoever!

Yeah lol i found out why mine goes off, its becuz my ground was loose, but i tightened it onto the bolt so now its ALL GOOD :D

Good job :P

Yup yup lol

Sounds like a pain in the ass. I wanted to get them myself. Whats it take to rip it all out and go back to stock afterward? any trouble?
