Start this project by removing the gauge cluster with the instructions outlined here. When removing the gauges, be sure to use a towel over the trim to prevent any scratches.
With the gauges out of the car, remove the 10 T10 torx circled below. With the 10 torx removes the gauges will lift up and out.
With the gauge cluster taken apart lay the new faces on to the stock cluster. To do this the needled must be removed. Take care when removing the needles and make sure to put them back in the correct orientation. Now using the provided tape or spray glue, secure the new faces to the original gauges. If you use the provided tape make sure not to use any tape where light needs to shine through.
Before you reinstall the gauges, make sure you secure the feed for the power with electrical tape. Once that is done the gauges easily reinstall. For the power all you need to do is locate and tap a 12 volt ignition on and a ground. The lighter provides an excellent location for acquire both wires.
If you opt for this location, the wires are very easy to fish back to the gauges. When splicing the polarity on this modification does not matter.
