    Gauges...

    Alright, so some of you know I got them uber sweet flame gauges in my car, and it's time for them to come out..lol..

    Anyone got an easy way to pop that cluster out, and pull out the white face gauge out, without having a huge mess going on?..I don't wanna get into it if I gotta' rip half the dash apart, I'll deal with them..anyone got any info lemme know! Thx!

    its really easy, that whole piece of plastic trim just has a few screws around it some right above the cluster. the headlight switch youll need a pointed pick to get the knob off, i think there may be some screws hiding under the trim under the steering column, i think there was two 7 or 8mm bolts under two plugs on it. the cluster is just held in by 7mm bolts i think

    I put White Faced-Reverse Glow gauges in mine. After about a little over a year my bailist went. And mine didn't work for like 2ta3 years, well they would kick on evey once in awhile when they wanted to.
    Last year I had them professionally fixed and finally gott'em workin again. It's just a real pain to mess with them, really. U could do it urself, gotta half patience and read directions.

    its not awful, youll have the cluster out in 15 mins, chaging the faces can kinda suck because you have to pop the needles off.

    Dood I can do it for you this weekend. Maybe friday. I've done my gauges twice. You don't need to take the needles off.

    nice..if your free today bronder we could tackle it..

    I left work because my manager was being a piece of shit, and advised the owner that I should go home before I did something that would have resulted in me getting fired..

    So i got the day off.
