Default Gauges

I have a few questions about installing new gauges. First is it possible and will it mess up my speedometer if i install GT gauges in my V6. Also can anyone give me some tips on how to remove the headlight ****. I have seen the how to on mustangworld mustang world but i was wondering if anyone has found an easy way to remove the ****.

I think you would have to get your speedo re-calibrated. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the GT guages go higher than 120 like the v6 guages do.

place a flat head screwdirver in the slot along the neck of the HL **** and pull the **** out hard to release the clip. very easy to remove. i bought simco precalibrated white face v6 gauges for my 99 v6

I can get some pics of mine, but I have no clue where to find mine. The only thing that hints at a company on my guages is the "RS" on the odometer.

WOAH hold on. I bought after market gauges for my v6 and they were easy to take apart and that walkthru you seen on mustangworld, yea I thought it would be a pain also but it took me 2 mins to pop that headlight **** off use a nail But...my gauges read Im at 30 MPH at idle I messed something up bad so now all my gauges are wayyyy off . Pain in the as$ not worth it....atleast not to me. good luck with it though just wanted to let you know my experience with it. [&:]
