Just installed mine. I must admit when I got those in the mail I was like damnnnn these little pieces for $35, but they look good in the car. Install took 13 minutes from start to finish including taking apart the car so I must say it was pretty simple and definitely use a screwdriver and not a back of a pen to press down the ends.

took me about 20-25 minutes, had a few more wires then most people though. all I can say is be very careful when using a screwdriver, I put a small scratch about an inch and a half long on the lense cus my hand slipped. Looks great at night when lit up

Just to double check, when I bought this I was under the impression I could pop them in from the front, but it looks like everyone is installing through the back per the intructions, correct?

Well through the back and front sort of. Like you pop out the glass insert the rings through the holes and then you bend the chrome ring on from the back but through the front ha sounds confusing but its simple

Yeah, I thought the same thing until I noticed that it just can't be done. I had to unclip the fascia and clear plastic together. No way to just get the clear face off. Would've had to have busted it off. No issues though, just unplugged the speedo wiring and took the whole assembly out.

I just got mine. I can't wait to install these.
No, I was thinking the same thing, but everyone so far just slipped the rings in from the back of the trim plate/clear cover.

No worries, you can get them from EBay, I think they are $34.99 plus $12 shipping from the UK

Just add "Greg Peterson sale" in the comments box on checkout so I get credit for the sale.

Put mine in last night. I've never had any part of the dash apart on this car but it is very easy to do. I took my sweet time so as not to scratch the lens and spent some time wiping down the guages, cleaning the lens etc. and still only took 35 minutes

All I have to say is... they should have come this way from the factory !!!

What did the white pieces come out of, or are they custom made?
