2. Remove the stock gauge assembly from the center gauge bezel; the
only items to be reused are the front bezel and the gauge mounting
hardware. Now is a good time to clean or refinish the bezel.
3. Peel the paper off the two block-off lenses needed
(636234-A and 636234-B) and place them shiny side
down in the two rectangular openings. Use silicone to
hold them in place and avoid handling until the silicone
has cured.

4. With the block-off lenses in place, position the RTX center gauges over the back of the center
bezel and secure the system by using the four (4) stock mounting screws.
5. Attach a main harness and the clock harness to the back of the RTX display.
Carefully route the other ends of the main harnesses to the control box mounting
location as the display is installed into the dash using the factory hardware.
