they did, they weren't the greatest instructions in the world but they did the job. If you can install a boost gauge you can put these in.

is this a complete console replacement? (Cant check ebay at work) It doesn't affect odometer reading at all either correct?

no it's not a complete replacement. The white gauges are just covers, you slide them overtop of the exsisting gauges

The ebay auction states that they install w/o removing the needles. How does this work?

you just slide them under the needles. Put the needle through the hole then slide them into place. Hardest part is routing the wires.

I like them. I don't really care for the light blue color in the middle though.

So the center hole is large enough to pass over the center of the needle?

Just put my order in for this kit and I was wondering ... can you see the needles clearly with the inner circle gone? The gauges look great besides the light blue inner circles ...

the needles are lit separately by the stock bulbs, the center piece does nothing to help or hurt your ability to see them

Avengerhed hit it right on the nose. I will suggest some thin double sided tape cause i had some problems with the needles sticking cause the over lays werent completely held down. Besides that its pretty much cake.
