Recommended Posts

ive just copied and pasted from toc irl, all credit goes to jack kelly who made this guide im sure it will help some members out



just remember what faces you will be using depending on where you are







Got these from skunkworkz and I fitted 3 or 4 sets of these so just giving a rough guide on how to fit them.

Open the packet first of all and separate the mph face from the kph face, use the kph as your car is in kph.

Then remove the plastics around the clocks.

Then start by removing the four screws on the temperature / petrol gauge. Then carefully slip over the new indiglow face.

Get them in place and make sure the needles are free to move and screw in to place.

Do the same with the speedo section, it slips over easy just be careful you don't bend the needle cause it could break.

Next you must do the revs, the OEM has a little needle so you must make your own, I used a sharp screw driver.

Get all three connections and tidy them at the back of the clocks.

Plug them in to this starting closest to the black box.

To wire them to your parking lights so they come on ONLY when you have your lights on you wire them to the thick green wire on your ignition.

Splice it and wire it in.

Earth the black cable from the box in a secure place, I used this place as it's handy.

Check if they all work 100% and put it back together.

Then refit all plastics, before you do make sure ALL the needles can move freely up and down.
