Gauge installation.

[MrStang123]

Just got a pair of reverse glow gauges for the 94-95 stangs. Now I bought them brand new off of ebay.The guy wanted to save money on shipping so shipped the parts in a big envelope and did not include instructions. It did include a power inverter, on/off switch and all the necessary wires. Now I was planning on installing myself and I do not have that much experience with these sorta things so with out the instructions im not quite sure how to wire it up with the inverter and switch. Not to mention its an 8k rpm tach now as opposed to the 7k one. So how would I have to calibrate that for the new gauges? But does anyone know of any website where to find the instructions to install these? Or have any usefull tips for me? Thanks!

There was an article on this in maybe march this year.

But in a nutshell here goes. Remove the dash (just keep removing the torx bolts you find and pull when you run out...) Then put these over the gages that are there and put it all back together. For power most of us tap into one of the factory backlight bulbs to power the invertor. Mine has a switch to, make sure you can get to it if you do not bypass it (I haven't tried to bypass it yet) but I did do it all 2 times before i fgured out that each time the power was shut they didn't trun back on without hittin ghte switch, it must be a momentary on my kit...

Let us know if you need more.

If I find my installation sheet for my SpeedHut El-glow gauge overlays, I'll post 'em up.

The 8K tach is for the mod motor. The moron who had my car before me put in gauges with that tach overlay (the other overlays were fine).

THere might be an article at Mustangworld that outlines it.

Good luck.

When I bought them the description said for 94-98. Then after I won them I was on his website and he had ones for 94-95 and then the 94-98. Don't know what sense that made but they still looked cool. Speedo is fine but im just gonna have to fix that tach. Ok so the power lead is going to go to the dashlights power. Where am I going to ground the black wire? There some sort of metal surface back there?

Those instructions can be a real "postage booster"

What you have in these posts so far will suffice.

If the gauges are in 3 separate sections, you don't need to remove the needles because you can put slight bends in the overlay and thread the needles through the holes.
