Check the Tech section under Cosmetic.

There are two 2nd gen 4Runner write-ups for indiglo gauges which should be about the same install.

One of those write-ups is mine... Feel free to PM me with any problems. Getting cluster out was the easy part it was actually getting the gauges in the cluster that was a pain.

I've done a few installs. Generally it's very easy - taking apart the dash is the hardest part. (On my F150 is was very hard!) Note that they generally claim that you don't have to remove the gauge needles and sometimes that's true and sometimes it isn't... IF you remove the needles - be VERY careful to note exactly where they go back on. I spent days getting them right on one rig...

I would love to find a gauge kit for my truck. Nu Image makes awesome Platinum kits, but they will not return my inquiries. Personally I think APC is junk, so where can I find a nice kit. I already did the blue LED swap. That looks great at night, but the gauges are boring in the daylight. I see one of the above avatars has a TRD kit. Is that still available for a 94 Pickup with factory tach? Any help would be appreciated.
