It's really not all that hard. Getting the gauges on the cluster is really easy. The hard part is getting to a good power and ground source.

The indiglos are very flexible and if you're patient you can get them on with a littl manipulation. As for the power/ground I happened to have my console off for a headunit upgrade so I just tapped into the light in the ashtray. I ran all the indiglo wires/transformer etc. down throught the dash and spliced into the red power wire and the black ground. I set the color of the gauges (I got the old color adjustable ones) and shoved everything back where all the radio wiring went. Haven't had a problem since and the gauges come on when I turn the key to ACC like they're supposed to.

Doesn't an all white plate stick out on the prelude dash?

Yeah it does but im gonna experiment by putting a black tint around the outside of the gauge,that should take away most of the white appearance on the dash during the day.I think the all white dash during the day looks horrible so lets see if that hides most of it.

4silly thanks for your input i shall give it a try,and see what happens.Ill will try to show the results.

Any more suggestions are very welcome.

I'm going to get some brushed aluminum and cut out a bezel to negate all that ugly white area. If it turns out well I might get the thing anodized/powdercoated red to match my interior.
