I was wondering if any one ever installed them?
How did you install them? :dsm:
The reason is because my gauge lights dont work.
I was thinking of getting the gauges.
What should i do?:dsm:
 
Dash gauge lights not working is usually due to a blown dimmer switch (which provides a varying ground). Unplug the dimmer and connect the black/yellow wire to the black. If it now works thats the problem. You can leave it connected this way if you don't mind full intensity (no adjustment but far cheaper than a dimmer).
 
Reverse glow guages still use the original needles also, which uses the factory dimmer switch. So you should fix the dimmer unless you don't mind have needles not lit at night. The dimmer provided with the new guages just dims the color of the actual face you bought. To do this just take out your cluster, take off the shields and then slide the new faces over the old ones and pop the cluster back in. Goodluck :thumb:
