uh just take out the gauge cluster and use a multimeter to find the right wires if u dont have the manual. solder the wires, put back in the cluster and the bezely thingy and u are done...do u have any specific problems?? i used a power from one of the big harnesses on the back of the cluster and grounded it through a screw i think...it was a while ago lol. PM or IM me if u have any questions....or need pictures...i can plop out my cluster and snap some digi shots and email them to u if u really need them

all i did was have the wire tap into where the parking lights fuse is, and have it grounded to a screw under the dash. didn't solder anything. the only tricky part is the temp/gas gauge. i slightly bent mine to get it over the needles.

solder is the best way...wire taps can come loose or not crimp the wire all the way and then u will be annoyed...i mean it takes like five more seconds to solder the wires, not a big deal

i mean, i just stuck it right at the fuse, so it's not coming loose. put it in the spot where the fuse goes, then shoved the fuse in. everything still works, so that works for me. :dunno:

i mean, i bent the gauges. but it was my second time installing them. this first time around, i thought i could just pull the needles off, but that was no good. i broke the fuel and temp gauges that way, and the tach and speedo were off. 92-95 don't have gas lights, so that sucked.
