Remove the center gauge pod and you'll see how they come out.

You'll ask "how do I get the center gauge pod out?"

Put the car in "D", pull the sides of the pod housing towards the rear of the car. It will come out. If you break the clips I have replacement ones.

Found this in the FAQ section. The Volt gauge should be fairly easy, just make sure to leave enough wire to work with.

Here's the oil gauge write up from years ago.

You connect the new gauges using the factory plugs and wiring.

most here prefer Autometer brand. Ultra Lite style matches the closest, 2 1/16 size. can also change to something else for looks based on preferences. I will have some Autometer carbon fiber ultra lite gauges for sale soon. boost, wideband, trans, volts, oil, fuel... prolly in October.

Is there anything special about replacing them do you have to run a oil line or a sending unit or anything like that

As RCR said, the sending unit will come with the oil pressure gauge. You'll have to replace the factory sender (it's actually just an on/off switch) but you can use all the existing wiring. The voltmeter needs nothing extra.

Oil pressure sender is near the oil filter on driver's side of the engine towards the front. Previously answered....... sometimes it pays to notice the thread is continued on page 2 and the answer is there.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320AZ using TapatalkI was talking to myself. I posted location of the oil pressure sensor and then realized that there was a second page to the thread and the information was posted earlier. So it's a big DUH on me.
