How to Install White Face Gauge Inserts for a 2005-2009 Mustang

Installation

1. Begin by removing the gauge bezel. To do so first remove the left side by pulling the bezel towards the steering wheel. Once it is unclipped repeat the same action on the right hand side.

   

2. Remove the four 7mm screws located on each corner holding the cluster in place.

   

3. Pull the cluster as far as you can to reveal the wire harness connection on the back right. To remove press firmly on the center of the clip while pulling the handle towards the passenger side of the vehicle.
   
4. Once the cluster is removed move to a clean and safe work area.
5. The lens is held in by four clips. Carefully pull up on each clip to remove.

   

6. Before removing the needles turn each needle past the "Low" position. Then carefully remove each needle by pulling it straight up and place them in a safe location. If a needle is particularly hard to remove it can be lifted off by using a fork or similar tool to pry it off.

   

7. "My Color" Gauge Clusters:Remove the stock gauge face by peeling the face off beginning at one of the corners until it is completely removed. Remove the protective liner from the back of your new White Face Gauges to expose the adhesive and using the holes as a guide place the new gauge face on the cluster. Press firmly to ensure a tight bound. Skip to Step 9.

   

   Glow Gauges Only:Place your new White Face Gauges on the top of the stock gauge face using the holes as a guide. On the back of the new gauge face is a protective liner. Remove this to expose the adhesive. Us the holes as a guide place the new gauge face on the cluster and press firmly to ensure a tight bond.

   

8. Remove the driver side rocker panel cover (plastic door sill plate) by pulling it straight up.

   

   Remove the 2 screws located beneath the steering column

   Remove the lower dash panel cover.

   

   Unclip the headlight switch connector

   

   Splice your glow gauge wiring into the "YELLOW/BLUE" and "BLACK" wires leading into the headlight switch. This will cause the gauges to illuminate along with the rest of the console instrumentation.

   

9. Place the needles into their "off" position. Do not press down all the way; just enough to secure the needle in place

   

10. Unplug the cluster. Place the cluster in your lap and move the needles straight up.
11. Plug the cluster back into the vehicle. Each needle should rest into its "off" position. If not make needed adjustments or repeat Step 10.

Securing Your Needles:Slide the needle removal tool between the needle and the gauge face. Then press down firmly. This should leave a safe gap between the needle and the gauge face. This is normal and necessary for proper operation.

12. Place the needles into their "off" position. Do not press down all the way; just enough to secure the needle in place
