white gauges???

[afaccord]

I bought some white gauges to install in my 99 sccord and really don't know where to start on the install???
should i just start ripping the dash off or is there a good plan to go about it?
I also made a mistake of buying the gauges off of ebay... they have to be connected to a power source for illumination. Should that power source come from the battery or a positioned 6v battery?
Yeah i probably should plan things out little better((((

if y have a after market stereo there should be a illumination wire behind it also if you have an after market wiring harness there should be illumination writen on the side of one of the wires too
but if not then wire it into the wires going into your britness adjuster for your factory gauges

they all have to be connected to a power source to light up! no matter where you buy it. the lights take up very little energy so just connect them to the wire for the brightness adjuster. if you dont know what your doin go to a pro. it is really easy to break a needle in the gauge especially the gas and temp ones.

Go ahead and take the dash apart. I would test the gauges out on the battery before installing, to make sure its all working. Take to pieces of wire, hook up to the wiring harness, negitive and positive, then the same to the battery. Go back to the car, remove the cluster and clear plastic. If your gauges have some screws, take them off. You do not need to remove the stock gauge or needles. You would just put it right over the old ones. Be very careful when you are putting them over the needle not to snap it, you can bend the gauges alittle. Once you have done all that put the screws & clear plastic back. Now connect the harness that comes with the gauges. This is what I did. I removed my steering column plastic, used a light tester on the light switch wire with the car on ( acc ) turned the switch on & off to see which wire would shut off the tester when the car is off, and that would be my positive wire, then just find a metal around there connected to the chassie for your negitive and when you have it all hooked up and turn the switch on & off, your gauges should turn on as well.
