Well I got my speedo and re did my bezel and I think it looks a lot better than it originally did.

Before

After

And here is what the wiring looks like.....scary

Looks good! You're right the wiring does look kinda scary!!

SWEET7T · 10-09-2003, 12:43 AM

Those gauges look pretty slick!!!

Your wiring... well... uh... it looks good too

Just as long as it works right?!

**Bowtie468** · 10-09-2003, 12:48 AM

I've got to agree, it does look much better !!!

O'l Buck · 10-09-2003, 12:58 AM

looks much better with matching guages........as for the wiring, at least it's behind the dash

That looks slick. How hard was it to figure out that wiring?

It depends how much wiring experience you have. I have previously rewired my whole truck, so it wasn't too hard, but it did take a while.

Oh, and I used 2 trailer wiring harness connectors, so I can easily unplug it to remove it.

I gotta say that Painless wiring's universal gauge kit is the way to go for an application like this. cut into the factory harness, solder some connections, plug it in and go. Pretty slick. $60
