Does anyone know how to install EL reverse glow gauges?

What company did you buy from...it should've come with instructions.

Thanks, I haven't bought them yet, but I am considering buying them off of ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-93...69239020QQrdZ1
I was just wondering if it would be difficult to install.

no these are like the ones i bought except mine are white...

gotta remove the cluster, open it up, and maneuver these around the needles...seriously the hardest part of this is removing the cluster...to gain acess to our clusters the whole daskboard trim has to be removed....its all one peice..the trim that goes around all the air vents/ cd player/ ash tray, maybe even the center console to make it easier....

there are bolts behind the OEM switches, every air vent, the ash tray....its fucking nuts....get a haynes manual...it describes how to do this...the cluster is like 4 bolts and then pull it out after unplugging the harness conexts....just remember that if the dash trim doesnt want to budge in a particular spot its most likley because you misses some screws so keep looking because you WILL break the plastic trim...its VERY delicate....

as far as installing the faces just be very carefull not to break the needles......

thats about it.

Thanks Ralphie,
I think I'll give it a try when it's a little warmer in Canada. I'm still trying to find them in KPH instead of MPH, but no luck yet.

gauges

they have diff gauges and you can custom make them....they have the mph/kph option and diff designs and logos...some of it is rice but you can create a simple design on their too....my buddy went through them and had no issues so i can vouch for them....

If you need help getting the dash trim off, get a haynes manual. I have one and when I put my new gauges in I used it to tell me exactly where each screw is that holds the trim. Not to mention great for lots of other things too.

gauges are alright, just make sure you are exremely careful putting them on over your old stock gauges so you dont break one of the needles, believe me, i bought the reverse ac auto tech gauges didnt like them pulled them off and broke my gas needle and if you buy off ebay dont expect them to be top quality parts they will be cheap, and the resistor used to control the colors, dim, brightness etc, SUCKS i would go with one off the website they just showed you above they look legit and theres a lot more selection. Just my 2 cents.

Yea I went to that website and checked it out. When I checked for my specific model (93 ex auto) and they didn't have it so I emailed them.They told me that they didn't make it for auto, so I'm out of luck and might have to settle for they ones I saw on Ebay at the risk of lower quality. Thanks everyone for all you help. This site is definitely the best for the CB7 lover!
