Step 1
Buy the el dial kit and wait a few days and you should get it in the post.
I bought mine at http://www.visualperformance.co.uk. It was shipped out that day and arrived within 3 days which was good.
Step 2
Under the dash above the dials there are 2 screws either side. Unscrew these and you are able to pull out the surround from the dials. As you move this out of place you will notice wires connected to either side where the button beside your steering wheel is located. disconnect these and the surround is now totally free.
Step 3
You will now just have the dial casing left. There are 5 screw holding this in place. 2 screws top left and right, and 2 screws bottom left and right. There is also one at the top centre holding the casing into place by being screwed to the underneath of the dash. Remove these and you can pull the casing towards you releasing it from the connections at the back. You can now angle it (as its a bit awkward to get out of the dash) and remove it.
Step 4
Once it is removed, un-clip the clear plastic and black plastic on the dial casing and you are able to get at the now exposed dials.
Simply placed the new dials over the standard dials and fixed in place with a little glue, and then drill 2 holes in the back of the white dial casing for the wires connected to the new dials to be run through these holes and out the back for later connection to the convertor and power source.
Fix the plastic covers back on after a little wash and dry as you'll probably never get the chance to clean the inside of them again unless your really really bored one day.
Step 5
To get to do the clock and voltmeter. Unscrew the gear stick know and pull the surround around this. Also remove connections to the lighter. This will pop off easy enough and when removed 2 screws will be exposed between the bottom of the top console and the stereo. Unscrew these and gently pull the surround towards you and it will come off. There are 5 sets of wires connected to the back. Disconnect these and the top console is now free. There are 3 screws holding the voltmeter and clock in place. Remove these and repeat step 4. However the clock is a little different. you have to remove the small screw in the clock adjuster and place the hands at 12 o'clock to fit the new dials over them.
Step 6
Now all that left is to hook the converter. You will have to splice a live and neutral wire in the car to the converter. The best and easiest way to do this is to splice it with the lighter live and neutral (black = neutral and green = live). Doing it from the lighter will leave ample room to connect the dial connections to the converter and leave room for the dimmer/colour changer if you have one to secure it to under or near the steering wheel.
Replace the units making sure the new wires are not stuck behind the dial casing
REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT YOUR CAR BATTERY UNTIL EVERYTHING IS FINISHED, ALSO WHILE DOING THIS GET DIAL RINGS TO SAVE TIME AND THEY LOOK GREAT TOGETHER. I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING THEM FROM JAYOD12B IN THIS CLUB. HIS DIALS RINGS ARE OUTSTANDING AND TOP QUALITY COMPARED TO THE ONES ON E-BAY
