Hi Guys,

I have put them on on tuesday night and after picking them up of Daryl at 11pm (sorry for the lateness dude) and finished by 1:15am.

they are awesome.

Yes yo uhave to slip them THROUGH the needles and then press the entire el dial down to slide under the needle to allow the bum end of the needle to fit through.

Also, i took the power off the cigerette lighter, black on the black, and red off the red/blue going to the light AROUND the lighter.

One thing i have noticed though, is that i cannot see the bluddy needles at night. are they supposed to light up or something? i have to look for the black shadow to see what speed i am doing and also, i cant see the needles forf the fuel, temp and oil gauges.... help?

Vape did you take the light bulbs out the back of your consol to feed all the wiring through?

if so this is the reason why your needles don't light up...

Alright people!

Here are my images taken just now after rerouting the cabling so that the bulbs are back in.

I found that the needles were way too dark, especially when there were no street lights!

I have found that there are holes on the back of the dash cluster for holding cabling against it. I removed the connectors from the leads and thread the cables through these holes, then connected the connectors (?) and was still able to use the bulbs for the needles.

Hope you all have success the first time... !

Oops, sorry guys, the last 2 shots are really crap. Still learning how to effectively take a photograph with the right camera settings for night mode etc.

The main bright ones were with 0.7sec exposure... the last, i have no idea.
