okay, i'm swapping my gauges swapped out with the EST guages, but should i take out the 4 lightbulbs that lit the stock guages? I'm pretty sure these guages glo on their own so they shouldn't need the old bulbs, but i don't wanna put everything back in there car wrong. Also, how do you get the guage needles off?

Okay, i got everything and it works great, but now the left turn signal in the gauge cluster doesn't light up any more. right side still works fine and lights come on outside the car. I probably put bulb in backwards because i took all the lights out (don't ask) when i had the cluster out. Also, now my SRS and ABS lights are on too, so what the hell did i do when i was in there? laugh.gif

could someone tell me which light bulb is the left turn signal bulb:


*edit*
here's a pic:

these gauges come with a switch that changes the color from green to blue, thats the green in the pic.

to answer your question about the signal...in the pic of the cluster back, the little socket at the top right is the left turn signal bulb...it may have just blown the bulb...pretty common to blow a bulb or two when messing with the cluster...to be more specific, there are 4 large bulb sockets when you look at the cluster from the back...go to the second one in from the right (third from the left) and pretty much right above that there is a small bulb socket, that would be the left turn signal (it is on the right when you're looking at the back of the cluster)...i suggest replacing both the signal bulbs though....

BTW, looks dizope.

here's a shot of the green Vs the blue. The blue looks really bright but the green matches all the switches.

and i got everything working great now. I opened the dash back up today and saw i forgot to plug in one of the harnesses for the gauges laugh.gif as soon as i plugged it in my blinker worked and all warning lights turned off.
