Default Replacing gauges of 96 XJ, possible?

I've tried searching around, but haven't been able to find a specific answer. My 96 XJ's gauges don't have any numbers listed.... the only gauges with readable numbers are the odometer and speedometer. I'm a total newbie and am wondering if it's possible (and relatively easy for a novice) to change out the gauges to something that will let me know engine temperature, RPMS, and whatnot. If it is possible, does anybody know of a good "how to" thread? Thanks!

Welcome to ya.

This should help you. Gauge swap was the first mod I did on my '96.
