glow gauge help

Hi. I have a 1997 Camaro Z28, and am wondering how to install my glow gauges. Is there anyone who can help me with this?

if your just talking about the overlays man it is very simple.. you pull the front piece off around the gauges (just held by clips and 2 screws) then unscrew the actual gauge cluster and pull it straight out.. once its out remove the front clear cover (maybe 4 screws) and you can manipulate the overlay into place around the gauge needles without moving them.. reinstall everything and the wiring should be simple

hi

Alright we got that part down, got the cover off an all, but now there are 6 connectors that we do not know where they go. We also just put them over the factory and they don't glow, maybe I have to cut off the factory?

what do the connectors look like?.. what brand are they? maybe send me a pic of the connectors and i can help your being a little to general..

and no you dont have to touch the stock gauge lighting.. the overlay will cover and blackout the stock lighting and provide its own lighting..

um about not cutting the stock ones. What if I took off the cover and found that half of it has been cut around the edgea, would that affect the needles somehow on there movement, and would I repaste them? Looks like previous owner had glow gauges put took em out.

I mean this car was a real peice oh **** when I bought it.

any bare wire is a short whether it is currently or not, treat it like one. Tape those wires up really well
