Installation
1. Remove the stock gauges from the dash. Each gauge is held in place by four nuts on studs on
the back of the dash. Save the nuts as they will be re-used to secure the new VHX kit.
2. Your VHX kit comes with two variations of mounting rings, choose the pair you need by having
the smooth side of the ring to the front and the part number at the 11 o’clock position. Line up the
four mounting tabs to the studs in the dash. Once the correct mounting ring is decided; mount the
ring to the VHX bezel by sliding the ring over the back of the housing with the smooth side to the
front and the part number at the 11 o’clock position from the top of the gauge. Secure the ring to
the bezel by lining up the thru-holes in the ring to the tapped holes in the housing and using the
supplied #4 Phillip screws (8 per gauge). Repeat on second gauge so both Speed and
Tachometer have mounting rings.
3. Remove the clear protective tape from the new VHX gauges and install the supplied gaskets over
the new chrome bezel.
