Installed my gauge face today. I left a very small piece of the molded cylinder in place, kinda comes to a point almost. The only one that I entirely removed was the temperature gauge. It was very time consuming getting the needles to line up, otherwise it is quite a simple install. So far I really like it, can't wait to see it lit up at night.

how do the needles come off? just press fit on pins? does it matter your not on 0 on the speedo?

 

Yeah, the needles just pull right off. The speedo isn't at zero because I didn't want to file off the whole cylinder mold, and left a tiny bit of it. I'll take my GPS out soon and see if it's correct. I'm almost positive it will be correct, the sweep (video at top of this thread) was right on.

 

Cool, Post up some night shots.

 

Just snapped a few, it's pretty dark, no more green!

Looks good, Now we a color change for the rest of that nasty green inside our trucks LOL.

 

Looks great! dakotaff, how difficult would you say it is to see where the needles are at night with the new gauge face?

 

i will do it when they find how to fix the part that stock needles needs modifications.

 

The speedometer is 'dead on ***** accurate'.

I haven't driven it at night yet, but it is easy enough to see where the dials are at.

 

I learned a trick to resetting your needles to zero after the install. A tech at the local dealership told me to unhook your battery ( the negative side) just like you're resseting the CEL and the cluster will go into calibration mode and viola zero themselves. No more remembering where to place the needles. Hope this helps guys.
