SRMotorsports gauge face question
Does anyone here have SRMotorsports gauge faces? I see them on ebay and am curious how they wire up and what the dimmer looks like. Does it wire into the original dimmer? If anyone has pics, I'd like to see some.

yeah i ordered them off ebay. delivery took a while from SR I ordered white but got silver (i like the look though cause my car will be silver in a decade or two). They install really easy and look great......good luck (ps. shipping is rediculously high>....

okay, so how in the hell do you get the gauge cluster (85) out without breaking anything i've got the bezel off and the switches out but the cluster's held in and the factory manual doesn't help. is there a speedo cable back there or anything i've got to disconnect before it'll move?

Oh yeah. its a bitch. took me like 3 hrs to get it out. MAJOR cramps in my neck. also broke the clear plastic front cover, the headlight/ blinker switch, and various other odds and ends.
you gots to disconnect the speedo cable, and then two largre round plugs on the back. they have little clip fasteners on them. MAJOR BITCH. good luck!!!

Ok what i did was undo the cable from under the dash- i removed the middle air duct hose and shoved my hand up there and undid everthing from the back....Then I learned a valuble lesson. make sure to tack the wires from the guages down inside the gauge cluster somehow. after struggling with getting it back in for about fifteen minutes I realized that the wires were restricting the needles fom moving. I took it back out and fixed the problem. Yeah my drivers side green signal light in the bezel was my only victim....
