And is making your gauges and interior glow red when the lights are on rice, it looks so cool when all your gauges are glowing red at night

there is a clip on the back of the gauge housing that you need to push in and pull the cable back away, if it doesn't come right off then try pushing down a little farther

you might have to fight with it for a few minutes, I've been able to take gauges out in 15 min and sometimes its taken me an hour

Sure, the 110 mph speedo will work great, and so does the 140 mph gauge

No mods necessary.

If YOU like red than it doesn't matter what other folks want, now does it?

Thanx the little clip was stoping it from coming out. I pushed on it and the gauges were out in 2 seconds

Yeah i wanted the 240kmh/140mph gauge but all I found was the 185km/h , anything but the 140 km/h/85mph guage
