Default Can some one comment on how to install gauges..

Im thinking about installing these gauges, has any one installed guages that also require wiring to light up at night? How hard is it on a scale of 1-5? I doubt it will be much of a problem but I want to find as much information as I can before I buy any guages.

these are the ones I was looking at to buy because they don't require you to remove the needle and I like the look of them, just intimidated by the wiring: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-20...02098494QQrdZ1

thanks in advance..

The set that I have just hooks in to the standard light control...no seperate dimmer. Seems like extra work/pointless.

hey man,
what year is ur car? a 99 or newer ar then look into the simco gauge. its the whole thing like autometer only it cost bout $250 instead of 4. If its 98 down my advice would be to have it professionally done unless u have done it before or been with someone who has. I know a couple of ppl who didnt pay close attention to the needles and now their all messed up. Oh and pj what year is ur car and what kind of gauges do you have id like to check them out.

I got mine from UPR. They slip right over the needles so there's no trying to recalibrate the needles by hand... Very easy install, plus if you have an aftermarket stereo you can just tap into it's adapter for the power/dimmer...
