How hard is it to intall gauges like this:

1 - 2 hours?

Is it a two person job? Or can it be done fairly easily by one?

 

i did it by myself in 30 min

 

ill post a pic later on tonight after i get out of class.

 

i have a 2000 accord coupe lx v4 m

 

Its really easy you just take apart your dash and take out the cluster. Slip the gauges on then wire the dimmerswitch/color chaning switch to something. Just be careful that you do not brake you needles. I broke my temp gauge. But so long as your careful its easy.

 

this might help

yeah its pretty easy to install...and although they may seems like they won't go over the needles, they do, but in a funky maner that you wouldn't think of at first. you need to put the needle through the hole and then slide the edge of the hole in the gauges(you are installing) under the needle base that the hole in the new gauges don't seem to be big enough to clear. that probably didn't make much sense, but trust me don't force the gauges in any way....they will go withough any force.....if you force them and curl the inside edge of new gauges, it will cause your gauges to stick at certain rpms, when it's cold....like mine do

 

Thanks for the link to the installation guide. That really helps a lot. Now I just have to do the wiring for power and figure out how to get the dimmer switch to go where it needs to go.

 

Make sure the gauge faces are glued down very well to the gauges or they will come up...this happened to me and both speedo/tach started sticking at random intervals. Also, the wiring is a bitch for people who have no experience. Other than that it's cake.
