Pretty straight-forward. Out with the old and in with the new. Installed the new water temp. sending unit and oil pressure sending unit, removed the old gauge cluster, put the new one in its place, piece of cake.

Wow thats some serious modification you removed a couple screws and unplugged a plug then plugged in a new cluster and reinstalled a few screws , Next time I need some fabrication completed I'll have to hit you up.

WTF man? You're being a *****. You also seem to be confused about the difference between modification and fabrication.

Yeah, it's a modification to an XJ.

Some of you guys need to run to CVS and get some Midol?
