Hi i just got these new gauges. And i got all the wiring installed professionally. Can some help me install these guages faces without cutting them. Please anyone. I really need ur help. Thanks

And i know i can't take the needles off. But i also can't cut the guages. Someone help me out. Thanks

 

What do you mean by "cut the guages"

 

depending on the gauges...u can cut them...

 

wow, this is like the 5th thread you've started with the same question.. hehe. not flaming.. just joking.

anyways, the traditional indiglo guages you can cut, however, on the new reverse indiglo the electrical tape (lack of a better word) (the copper 'wiring' that is flat and is present in curcuit boards) is right in the center, so i dont know the effect of cutting it (it circles the opening in the center.

i imagine that if you cut it with a razor blade, and set it nicely on the guage face, it will make the connection and everything will be dandy. but if you dont want to.. hopefully someone will think of something.

 

umm... do you have it installed or not? you said you have "wiring installed professionally"

 

yea everything is done. I got the wiring installed professionally and put the gauges faces on myself. YOu won't believe the autoshop dude said. He said he'll install the gauge faces for 200 bucks. He can suck on my d*** for 200 bucks. That ***. I installed them in like 10 minutes with a freinds help. but the wring was perfect.

 

Hey, can you look at the wiring and see which wire they spliced into for the gauges (I'm assuming they used the one that illuminates the stock guages when the lights are turned on)? I'm wiring up some guages and I can't figure out which one it is out of all the ones that clip into the stock guage cluster.

 

Get a test light, place the test light on each terminal on the cluster plug with the car off and the lights on. The terminal that lights up is the wire your looking for.( dont forget to ground the test light )

 

so tell us, how did you install them without cutting the gauge faces?

what is this "professionally done wiring"?

 

it was easy man. Ur going to need someone to help you tho. I drilled the holes jsut alittle bit bigger. So i held the plate down so it wouldn't break the needles and he slipped them over. but ill see how he did the wiring and get back to u guys. ok peace

they look so tight

 

so you just used a 1 inch (?) drill bit and made it bigger? coolies. sounds easy enough. did it drill fine, or was it flimbsy?

 

i didn't have an one inch drill bit. But you can use it. It would be more easier for u. But i had to drill in the circle. Yea u need it alittle bigger. Becuz of the needles ***. They're hella long. It was alittle flimbsy. Get someone to help u man. You'll pull it off. Its easy. Good Luck

If it's these (reverse gagues) there is not cutting, they slip right over:

 

wtf is that? calling me an ***? come on bro, act like an adult.

 

lolol...naw man....im saying the neddles *** (the long steam). I have the reverse ones. You can't cut those. I had to drill the hole alittle larger for them to fit. Just look on the back of the plates. U can only cut on the black. The rest don't touch. Ok good luck bro.
