Its really easy, i have summits digital gauge in there...i love it. I need to get some pics up
deadlast said:definetly, i would love to see this. do you have a write up of some kind aswell?
nmcgrawj said:I'm telling you, you do not need a write up. A guy on the corral told me the same thing. Take the trim off, get the radio out, then take off the a/c panel and u will see how u take out the screws to disconnect all the lines for the switches on the back, then just run the lines down to the bottom, hook everything back up and either sandwich the a/c panel into the window or figure out a way to mount it.
Here is a pic of mine when everything was still kinda in pieces...u can see the gauge from summit up above in the old a/c panel slot....its black when off and lights up with blue digital numbers for volts, oil pressure, and water temp. I love it. It matches my radio and STOCK FACED speedogauge perfectly since i replaced the lights behind the speed with LED lights so it lights up a real nice Blue now. And the summit piece even has warning lights for high and low readings.
Ram000 said:awesome, nate!! you gottagive us waaay more info on the l.e.d.'s , though! which ones did you use? how did you soldier them into the guage bezel? i hate the alien-green light ford uses for our guages/clock! thanks!

thats mine, i screwed mine in though, after i cut off the mounting tabs which i later realized would have helped me. oh well...
nmcgrawj said:There was a thread about it a while ago...they are some 4 or 5 point LED lights off ebay. I can get more info later...i gotta run to this exam review now.
They fight right into place of the stock ones. No modding necessary. The actual bulb is bigger than the stock bulb since its a LED, so it barely fits through the holes in the back of the bezel, but its a simple plug and play kind of thing.
Ram000 said:that extra bit of info you're promising will be greatly appreciated. did you use the 194 bulbs? how many are there to replace? wonder if they'll work in the clock, too?
i went through that thread and come up w/ 194 bulbs for 94-98, but being that the bulbs you used were a direct plug-n-play, i'm curious to know which size bulbs you used.nmcgrawj said:I searched on ebay and couldnt find them. Thats why i posted up that other link where that guy did it in the 4.6 section.
I want to say its about 6 or 7 bulbs on the back. The clock will not work due to the fact that its a digital display...its not "back lit" like the gauges...atleast i dont think it is.
Check out that thread, that should get you in the right direction. The thread i used was before the crash i think...so i dont think its around anymore. crapola
sounds like the kind of gauge i've been wanting ... please provide more info ... got a part #?nmcgrawj said:Here is a pic of mine when everything was still kinda in pieces...u can see the gauge from summit up above in the old a/c panel slot....its black when off and lights up with blue digital numbers for volts, oil pressure, and water temp.
