i have done it twice, hardest part is resetting the needles when done. other then that its pretty much a breeze, you just have to pull some dash stuff to get it out, then take it a part (snaps apart) and check where your needles are first. swap out the face and reverse, when you put it back together though yo uhave to spend some time with the partially assembled gauge cluster in the car calibrating to make sure needles are ok.


it really isnt bad though. and i think i rem them coming with instructions for both sets ive done.

Easiest, yet one of the more aggravating installs you'll ever do.

ive heard they come with instructions, so the only thing i see being a problem would be calibrating your needles, id say to have a full tank of gas when you do it so you wont have to find hte exact sport you kno?
