for power just hook up to a source that comes on with your lights. i hooked mine into the bulbs for the lights on the cruise control buttons behind the steering wheel.

What, no step by step? This is why you can't find info on things. Anyway, there is a very good write up on doing this about 2 years ago but I don't have time to search it right now. I do remember a problem with people breaking the pointers off.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

when I tried installing mine, I liked the look but the speeds didnt match up. The numbers on the white gauges started later than the stock ones. For example, the stock gauge reads 10mph and the white one rear 15mph and so on. It wasnt a big deal but I decided not to put them in for that reason. Anyone else have this problem?
