Awesome :rocking:

Just some tips, it looks like you bought the same kind I did. They didn't come any instructions, just the ebay info I read. It said they you are not supposed to remove the needles to install them. I tried this myself and f'ed up my temp and gas gauge trying to squeeze the overlay over the gauges. Luckily I didn't get it on because in the end, the PRND123 section had to be removed (cut out with a blade, or else it would have been extremely blurry.) Also the turn signals and "service engine soon.." etc.. don't match up right. You'll see what I mean when you install them. It doesn't come with a needle removal tool so if I were you I'd take it somewhere to have it installed. The place that installed them told me they had never seen gauges that looked this badass lit up but they also said they were cheap.

I'm ordering Escalade gauges as soon as my tax return comes back. My bro wants this cluster as soon as I get them...so they do look good. If I had just not tried to install them myself first. :D

yeah i remember u saying that the guages didnt match up right and all that stuff but i wanted to get them and see what i could do my bro has all the tools to do the job he has put in new guages a few times so i think he knows what he is doing. if they dont work ive been thinking of getting the escalade guages 2 but i decided to try these ones. i just love they way that they light up at night and stuff and would look really good with my new HU, and ive been thinking of getting some new lights for the front maybe blue to match the color of my truck, but that will have to wait i guess.........TrEy:D

cool..yeah if you have any amount of knowledge with this you could easily do it yourself. I don't know much about wiring and didn't have the tools to take off the needles that's whyI had it installed.

well today started off really good and i knew that i was going to get those new guages 2 but my happiness was shattered. i got the new guages and i opened the package and guess what. they sent me the wrong guages. they sent me one for the 97-00 CHEVY CAMARO :cussing: :cussing: and not the one for my truck. i called them back and told them that they sent me the wrong one so hopefully i should get them in sometime next week and HOPEFULLY they will send me the right one this time. i was looking forward to installing the guage with my new led lights that i got for my overhead dome stuff.....TrEy:D

Daaamn that sucks, happened to me before too. It was with ventvisors that I ended up taking off anyway. You should tell them to ship them overnight.

Where'd you get your led dome light from? :naughty:

yeah they said once they get the camaro one they will send the new one out overnight free of charge and they are re-enpursing me for the shipping.

i got the the leds for my dome lights in the front and the other overhead light thing in the middle of the the front seats and the rear bench in the headliner at http:// www.superbrightleds.com they were really cheap 2 the 194 wedge bulbs were $1.59 i think and the other bulb they call a 31mm festoon bulb and that was $2.25. good prices ill see how good they are and ill start to change all my other lights...TrEy:D
