I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he means the reverse indiglo gauges in the dash, which should be VERY simple to install, provided you can get the dash apart. A manual should be all you need.

Well what car do you have?

I installed reverse guages in my 95 and it is not that hard.  If you have a 95 or 96 you can follow a thread made by AceInTheHole (do a search) when he installed his indiglos...or you can PM and I will give you some instructions.

I think it's fairly easy.
I have an s13 and installed the reverse indiglo gauges myself a few weeks ago with a cast on! &nbsp;Im not sure how hard it is to take off the s14 dash but for mine it was pretty easy. &nbsp;I wired the gauges up to the dimmer switch with a voltage indicator. &nbsp;I had never done anything like this before so it took me 3 hours, but im sure you could do it in less time. &nbsp;Hope this helps man. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>

i put both indiglos and carbon fiber gauge trim on my s13 and it was quite simple- the only part of the install that pissed me off was wrestling the giant plastic outer trim piece around the knobs surrounding the steering wheel.
that piece, which holds the cruise on, 4 way flashers, rear defrost, etc buttons was a real bitch and I had to flex it to get it past the light/wiper stalks.
i used the radio's illumination lead to power the lights, so they light up any time i switch my head lights on. &nbsp;
also something that you should definetly do before you put the lights in because everyone I know who put the gauges in had the same problem until i figured this out-
the guages lay over your old ones, and the back of the needles will drag on them, causing them to stick at certain rpms or speeds. &nbsp;
take some thin sand paper and lay it agressive side up on your gauge faces, and slide it under the back of the needles.
rub the needles back and forth until it takes off the thickness of the new gauge faces.
now your gauges will actually work without sticking... which I consider a plus!
