So i went to the junk yard and i got what i think is Leg GT 96' Gauge Pod has 3Dish looking letters and is in KPH it doesn't have the right hook ups in back is there any way i can take the face plates and needles off that Pod and put them on my original one?

Sorta offtopic but I'm looking for fog lights for a normal 95' front bumper anyone know where the cheapest place i could find them is?

yes and actually the only hard part about it is setting the needles down right so they are acurate. so i suggest that when you do it have a gps for speed read out, a scan gauge for RPM, go fill up your tank then put the needle in on full, as for temp gauges wait for the car to cool over night and set the needle to the lowest youve ever seen it

ive done this before thats wat i did. :grin:

also ebay is a good place to start looking for fogs just type in bg5,bd5,legacy or jdm legacy usually a bunch of stuff pops up

Err, the scan gauge will do RPM and speed.

Our Autoray EZ Scan-5000 does both. But it's a portable hand held OBD scanner. I don't know about the in-car Scanguage tho.

This is the hardest fuckin project I've ever taken on... So i start taking the speedometer apart and the needles are like glued onto the little rotating thing i have no idea what i'm doing. I'll update later...

There's a special tool (Snap-On has them as well as others) that makes the whole process easier. It looks like a trim remover tool, except only smaller. Check Autozone to see if they have them.

Aight thanks man, i'll check autozone today. I took each guage and their individual computers out of the big housing and they just pulled right off the computer board so i might try just plugging them into my original one, like a transplant lol hopefully it works.

you don't have to take any needles off. or any of that jazz. there are 3 screws holding in each of the rpm meter, and like 5 for the mph,. and 3 for the temp/gas gauges. they bolt right out with the whole moder assembly. than just bolt into the new one
