Indiglo Installation Instuctions

WE RECOMMEND FOR PROFESSIOANLS TO INSTALL THIS
  • The first step to install indiglo gauges requires the removal of the instrument cluster. Removing the 2 screws located in the top portion of the cowl, and gently pulling on the bottom portion of the instrument cowl. The panel is usually held on clips so you will have to pull it out. Remove the remaining 4 screws (two-month the top portion and the other two on the bottom right and left respectively) holding down the actual cluster and slowly remove it. Now you have very little room to work with as the connectors need to be carefully unfastened and removed. BE CAREFUL! Damaging any of the connectors or the part of the cluster's backside will ruin your dash.

  • Before installing the indiglo gauges, remove the front clear face shield, do this by pushing in the retaining pieces which are found on the corners, then slide it from the clear glass. In result it removes the face makes access to the gauges.

    • DURING INSTALLATION TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS
      DO NOT:
    • PULL THE NEEDLE OUT
    • MOVE THE FUEL NEEDLE. KEEP IT IN PLACE WHILE SLIDING THE INDILGO
    • BEND THE NEEDLE
    • THE WORST THING IS PULLING OUT THE SPEEDO / RPM NEEDLE. HOLD THE NEEDLES DOWN WHILE SLIDING THE INDIGLOS IN.
    • MOVE THE NEEDLE LEFT AND RIGHT TO GET A GOOD SPOT TO SLIDE IN THE GAUGES BUT DON'T PULL IT UP.


  • Carefully unscrew the 2 screws holding the RPM / SPEEDO face gauges on. (IF NECESSARY ONLY - pull the needle stopper slowly! You can damage it if using any sharp tip. Use needle nose pliers. Slowly and gently push and work the indiglo gauges on. You may want to use a rounded tip (like a pen) and push the now bubbled gauge where the needle is. If you don't then it may interfere with the proper operation. The fit will be tight as it is, and having the extruding underside is best to get out of the way. Replace the screws and needle stop.

  • Next will remove the screws and needle stops on the Speedo and need to slide the trip odometer hole over first. Work the needle in and work the indiglo gauge on. This one will require a lot of time. If you did the Speedo and tachometer gauges they will have free play. Meaning they don't have any tension stopping or slowing them from doing what they were designed for. After your prolonged battle to get the indiglo gauges on, you will string the power lines out of the cluster and place the transparent face back on. Gently and slowly close it to not kink any line. Do not put the instrument cluster back into its place yet.

  • Next find an adequate power source. The inverter for the indiglo is very sensitive. You could burn it out if the wattage is too high. For this reason, search for a HEADLIGHT. Find something power source (NOT A LIGHT DIMMER OR A FOG LIGHT SWITCH) A power source that powers your taillights for example. Contact the power and ground, and you're done. Put everything back together in the reverse step as you pulled everything out.
