2. Remove the stock gauges, separator plate, and lenses from the bezels. For the main cluster,
reattach the lens spacer to the bezel after removing the lens as shown (white arrows). The only
items to be reused are the original front bezels and gauge mounting hardware. Now is a good time
to clean or refinish the bezels.
3A. The Speedometer and Tachometer are interchangeable side to side. Choose the orientation you
prefer, then place the Speed and Tach on the main lens spacers and secure the gauges with the
six (6) stock mounting screws. Use two (2) stock mounting screws to attach the ABS plastic
brackets to the bezel and thumb screws to secure the brackets to the VHX gauges.
3B. Dashes with the vent by the driver’s right knee
will use the extended ABS bracket for proper
Mounting.

5. Peel the paper off the two block-off lenses needed for the back of the housing appropriate
for your vehicle. Place them shiny side down in the two indicator openings. Use silicone to
hold them in place and avoid handling until the silicone has cured.
4. Once the VHX gauges are secured to the bezel; connect the 12” CAT5 cable to the Tachometer, and
the other end to either port on the Speedometer, connecting the two halves. With the 36” CAT5
cable, connect one end to the open port on the Speedometer, and as the assembled cluster is
installed into the dash, carefully route the other end of the cable to the control box mounting location.
