you need to remove the instrument panel. There is a surround that you need to take off first however. It requires a phillips screw driver to take care of all the needed screws to get it out.

here are mine .JPG) .JPG) i have another set that citation had bought from me, if you wanna see them, it has a almost nude picture of pamela anderson on them. they are very nice. like them way better then these. i did these with the help of a professional printing place. They just printed them for me. Turned out awsome. I am currently making another set, except my normal comp crashed and I am working on fixing it, I think the hard drive died, which if that is the case i might have lost them all.

I was just wondering how you got the actual guage faces off of the guage cluster. They seem to be glued on. and if I can get the guage faces off, how do I remove the needles?

When I installed my overlays I put them over the stock gauges. No need to remove the needles either.

if you just put a overlay on them, does the light from behind when you have your lights on show through?

They are Indiglo overlays, no other light needed  I was just mentioning that the stockers and the needles dont have to come off.

so if i just try printing me out a custom guage, or just white guages, say i scan my old one or something and print me out a new one, then i can just put it on over the old one, and at night it will still have a backlight show through when you turn on your headlights? that is the only part confusing me.
thanks!
