1. Remove the gauge bezel from the dash. Now is a good time to clean the bezel.
Installation
*The bezel is held in by push-in clips. Note the locations of the clips on the back side of
the bezel. Pull near clips when removing the bezel.

2. Remove the stock gauges by removing the four screws securing the gauges to the dash.
A 7mm nut driver will work best for these screws. Keep the screws because they will be used to
install the VHX gauges.
3. Connect the CAT5 cable to the system so it can be routed and connected to the control
box as the instrument system is installed.

4. Install the VHX system into the dash. Align the four mounting holes and re-use the factory
screws to fasten the VHX gauges into the dash.
5. Re-install the gauge bezel and refer to the main manual for wiring instructions to complete the
VHX installation.
6. Stock charging systems will need an additional wiring connection at the gauge cluster connecter.
You will need to add a 300 to 500 ohm resistor between pin 25 (Brown wire) and Pin 18 (Pink/Black
wire). The provided alternator load harness can be used to achieve this.
