Yeah there is the potential to fcuk it up,i didnt really read the instructions and didnt reset my speedo needle to its original position (apparently,altho i thought i did) so now its 30mph off.just need to get some time to fix it.the needles are quite sensitive,so you need to be careful. i didnt understand all the shtie about makin a drawing of the dials???

ps you need to cut i.e fcuk your originals to get the white ones in.
does look nice at nite tho

Is there potential to mess the calibration upon your gauges while your fitting them?

Theres a pic of mine in my garage if you want a look. I fitted them myself without any problems - there designed so you don't have to remove the speed needles - the fuel and temp ones pull off easily. put a piece of kitchen towel or something over them when you paint the needles if you don't take them off though! There £40, but think of it like this - when your driving, there the mod that you'll be looking at the most - nearly every other second - so in that respect there well worth it - when you can spend hundreds on alloys and never look at them!

Still a bit dere though, but if they are such a high quality shouldnt really complain!

Its the quality that you pay for - the way that light up well etc. Mine are illuminates gold at night which look cool. I went for white ones and paid £43 I think. I think there's other makes you can get but Lockwood seem to have the monopoly - and can get away with charging £40+.
