Even though people are starting to get their gauges, and there are more than 10 people, can I still buy these?? Or was it just 10 people...?

Go to SRP's website. They should have a link to buy them.

All in all this install for all 3 pieces was fairly easy. But it was time consuming. The main gauges were fine. It was kind of dificult getting the overlay over the needle without having it stick. The hvac was simple, it even had 3M double sided tape on it. The HL sucked... Took me forever to figure out howe to get the knob off! If anyone needs help let me know.

Someone PM'ed me for help on the install and I wrote a pretty large response. Figured I'd post it as well. I'm sure it'll hope some people in some way.


For the main cluster. Take off the dash. 2 screws behind the contour plate. One behind the defrost button and two up top. Take them all out and the dash will come off. Then there is about 5 or 6 that hold the cluster in. Take those out. Behind the cluster there are two large wiring harnesses, disconnect them and take the cluster inside. There are tabs all the way around to get the plastic off, its a PITA. Take the 2 little nipples off from the speedo and tack, as well as the trip reset. DO NOT REMOVE NEEDLES!Use double sided tape on the back of the overlays and carefully slide them over the needles. Each one has a wire going to it... run them out the back of the cluster, you'll see a perfect spot. Clip everything back up, dont worry about wiring yet.
For the HVAC. Remove the cd player completely out. There are 4 screws directly underneath it. Take them out, Then that whole piece will pull out. There are clips so it'll be a [censored] pulling it off, use force. There are two screws holding in the HVAC, i unscrewed them and pulled it out just enough to work with it, you might not have to. Take off all the knobs and rip off the old HVAC overlay. The indiglow overlay comes with 3M double sided tape so just stick it back on. Dont worry about wiring yet.
For the headlight switch you need to take off the plate underneath the steering wheel. The piece with the footwell light in it. After thats off... take off the piece that the HL switch is in. There are two screws. Pull the actual switch from the housing. This one is complicated. The switch just pulls off with force. It took me about 30 minutes to figure it out. Use more double sided tape and stick it on.
Now for the wiring. Mine are hooked up so when my foglights are on they are on. You can wiring them however you please. I tapped into the red (pos) and black (neg) wires. THe gauges, HVAC and HL each have the seperate tranformer, or whatever its called, each have 2 wires. splice all 3 red into the red for the foglight wires and same for the black (or white). Clip all clips together. And test em' out. IF you wired them correctly they'll come on with the fogs. I used the fogs because i always have them on. Now have fun putting everything back together and running the wires cleanly. It's not bad. I hope this helps.

Thanks for making this happen Jason! And everybody else for installation tips, etc.

I think the gauges and HVAC will boost my resale vale at least a hundred bucks...WOOO HOOO!
