I have the same guages...but mine are in white. The biggest problem with installation is going to be the guages themselves. The concept of it all is simple, but for some reason i guess when i glued em down i missed a spot or something because my speedometer gets stuck at 50 mph and then at like 80 mph (not as much of a problem). So just make sure you have em on there good. Needles = no problem, just take your time and go slow.

i had the same problem with my needles sticking so i just took a dremel to the back side of the short end of the needle and it wasnt a problem, i would suggest to not take off the needles if you can help it. it is possible to do it without taking the needles off

use a light layer of sillicone or rubber cement to make it stick on the stock gauge.

or..instead of messing with the needles, use double sided scotch tape. NOT the double sided 3M tape. You can get it from office max for like 2 or 3 bucks. Make sure when you install it that your careful with the needles. DONT move the gas needle...but u can move the others but dont pull them up. Mine looked like this when they still worked, but sadly, i messed up the wiring

Looks good, what about red needles? White looks good at daylight, but in the night red would be better (I think). Hmmm...

lol, dont sound so inventive...i have the white reverse glow guages like thaiguy. and then i put in 3 red bulbs where the white bulbs were. Ill throw up a pic when i get home later tonight. I really like the way it looks, but its kinda hard to see the odometer.

red bulbs... It's problem for me. I ried to paint white bulbs but color burded (not kidding) and bulbs shine more pink and white than red... So Only one chance are color glas bulb or some high illumination (10000mcd) and diffusional (120 degrees minimum) LED's... No chance to buy here...
