Well if you didn't know APC stands for "A Piece of Crap". I'd try and plant them in a garden and grow rice.

Now on a more serious note, if you want a different look for your gauges why not change the bulbs in the cluster to a different color. You mess around with aftermarket gauges then there's a chance you can break a needle. Installing those luminescent gauges aren't worth the hassle in my opinion.

Garbage: they look really gaudy.

You really won't find a car specific install guide. They slip over the needles and sit there. DO NOT take the needles off, removing the needles will destroy the gauges.

The dealer sells new replacements. You don't need anything else.

Please don't put stuff like that on your car.
You don't need to advertise what car your driving.

Unscrew and remove the bezel and gauge cluster, it's not that hard dude.

Any Autozone or local parts store would probably carry them. The bulb size is 194 I believe.

If you were to go to a Acura dealer to get an emblem installed they would charge you an arm and a leg.
