Default depending on if you get it or not, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours...

its not a difficult install at all. if you dont have a gauge pod, cool craig put his in the defroster vent to the left of the gauge cluster. its pretty cool. you just pop the vent out (this is the one on the top of the dash, not on the side) and has his gauge jammed in there. it sits at an angle, and actually looks good. i think he had to trim some of the lower vent away in order to get the gauge to fit right, but if you dont have a pod, thats probably the easiest way. or just spend the money to get a pod!

Default that's what i'd suggest as well...

contact matt harris at silroan@hotmail.com. pod should run about $40-50 + shipping. very sweet pod.

Default vdo gauges have a clear light, but come w/ a red 'condom' that slides over the bulb

so it illuminates red.
