But now I need to install my underdash get I have 4 tubes I think they are 10in I wanna put them uderdash do I just scree it in or what? I'm not good at anything like this also wanna put 1 under each how would I do that? And the pictures of your power going to the switch where are those wires at? Do I have to take the whole dash apart?

Never too old for a good bump :thumbs up post pics of the gauges! As for the neon it's personal preference as to how u mount them, but yes u can screw them in, I've also played around with Velcro, just didn't work cz the summer heat melted the adhesive so they kept falling down :cussing: of ur just doing te 2 under the dash, u can splice the power wires together so that you only have ine wire to worry about for power. The wires to the switch, one is power (which I recently found I wired to the switcher on my amp, will edit original post with this info when I get the chance) and the other is to the ground. The wires came from my personal stash of wires if that's what ur asking, and the only thing u need to remove dash-wise (only if ur wiring it to a switch like mine) is the center console that runs up to the dash. Hope this helps!

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to write this up. Just bought my Teg and the middle light on the cluster is out. This will save me some time trying to figure out what to do, and most likely some $ that I would have given to a shop when I failed. haha

Good write up, i just did it myself and it wasn't to hard so if this DIY can't help people than they don't need to be working on cars lol.


I think i need wider bulbs or something cause yours slows FULLY blue some parts where my mileage is at, isnt the color i picked i guess i got a thinner bulb or w/e

Ha thanks, and I agree, it's SUPER easy to do.

And if it's not lighting everything up, probably means ur bulbs aren't bright enough, what did you use?
