Seen them at upr for $90. Now how do they go on without removing the needles?

mine are overlays.....

mine came in 3 diff parts. each part slides over the needles and sits into place...

you point the needles up and slip them over, the overlays are flexiable enuff to do this easily.....

i paid 100 for mine custom made

I figured it had to be in sections. Theres really no other way you would be able to install them. I think i`ll stick with going with the autometer lunar guages.

The ones at UPR are not the same as the ones he has. Those on the site are the EL GLow one that you need to hookup to get them to glow green like the cobra guages. The ones he has are just white face replacments that let the light through the numbers. Thats what I want, not the glowing ones.

These are the UPR ones I got. I also got the matching A/C plate (pix of that in my gallery too). They were a very easy install. Once you have the gauge cluster out, and lens off... its just as mentioned above. Point all the needles up, and slowly slide the overlay down over all the needles at once. I chose to cutout the lower white section with the dumby lights. Just didn't care for the look. That's all there is to it. Then just tap into a 12v light source.

The A/C plate was adhesive backed, so it was even easier...
