Ok, I got a good deal on these AC Dash gauges, they light up like a bluegreen, i got them for 45 bucks ok? good deal. So I go to put them in and realize I dont know how, i dont wanna **** with electrical shit if i dont know how to do it. So, I take it to my friends performance shop........65 dollars an hour for a 3-4 hour job?!!!!! GEEZE! So does anyone here have a site or know how to do them? If you know a site that will show me how to do it, post the URL. If you know how could you make how-to with pics and send it to me or something?

Performance shops that charge by the hour are dumbasses..

my shop charges a rate per job

that would be like.. prolly 70 bucks from my shop..

dunno man, i wouldnt f*** with it either

To clarify, its not MY shop, its just the shop i go thru :)

Very easy job to do with the right tools. Might want a volt meter to tell you which wire to tap into. This way you can just turn on your lights and your indiglos come on with them.

It took me and a friend 30mins....only about 5 mins to get the cluster out, then my friend found the wire to tap into.

Just check out the DIY threads and take your time. Everything will come out great...plus its a great feeling to do it yourself. Good luck, post or pm me if you have any questions...im more then happy to help.

BTW, speaking of integra installation. I havent done mine yet, but was wondering...Is it true that I have to glue them down over the old ones? Versus with my older Civic, I screwed them in...

you should have the wiring instructions with the gauges
