sorry, i dont have a write up, but basically besides the obvious wiring of the lights, i had to take a dremel and cut out the bezels of the gauges, what you see in the picture is all that is there, there is no bezel left behind them,you can see i actually got too close on top of the speedo and clipped a little of the silver off. they just sit right in there with the little bracket type things they come with. i also had to take the stock gauge holder and basically hollow it out for the gauges to fit there, its just a empty bowl now. they are all mechanical ultra lite gauges, the smaller ones are 2 5/8" and the 2 big ones are 5". if your wondering about the fuel, all you need to get is the 0-90ohms fuel gauge. i got my speedo cable from here. http://www.speedometersolutions.com/ it was 100" long and $61 shipped to my house with the OEM plastic tubing or u can get the steel tubing for a little extra. i learned a lot from the petersons pre-mudder build, heres a link,http://www.4wheeloffroad.com/projectbuild/131_0703_1974_chevy_k5_blazer_rollcage/photo_12.html you can see how much you have to cut and the black brackets that hold in the gauges, they used the smaller gauges on the left. im sorry im a little confusing
but if you need anymore info or need me to take pictures just let me know!chulisohombre

thanks,ya, i want to try the LEDs, im a little OCD when it comes to my interior, i want it perfect, but my sig. is actually a sticker that is across my whole back window, some women get real pissed when they read it
nice.... I like the red... 
What color is the rest of the interior?
I've looked into running the LED's, iirc, it was about $10 a gauge.... So, in my case I'm looking at 100 smackers...
Had to bump that one down the priority list... 
I am planning on a set of greens tho at some point... To match the ones in my breaker panel...
Originally I was gonna go amber, to match the copper... But I like how the green contrasts with the copper...
