How i remove the triple gauges in dash ?
 

Hi , guys this is my first time writing

I just want to know how to open or remove the tripple guages plz help

The ones up top? Oil temp, clock, battery voltage ones?

Have fun. You have to take out basically the entire dash. Most people just rip them out from the top, destroying them. Mr. Gale is one of the few I know of who removed them intact; I believe they are now displayed in a trophy case in his home :icon17:

Ooh destroy it , i want just change the clock to put air fuel ratio gauge

The triple gauges are actually one piece in behind the dash. You cannot replace just one gauge.

Also to remove the gauges without damaging them, the dash needs to be removed.

You can PM Galeforce and he will offer you a price with shipping on the pillar

:iagree:

Mr. Gale makes a fantastic product :tup:

Gale is correct, they are all linked together so if one goes they all go.
The proper way to get them out is taking off the dash, there is a DIY on how to get them out without removing the dash but this requires some cutting up & snapping a few pieces that most do not want to break.

Thanks gale

I bought from u dual gauge pillar


But i still need another place to put gauge



Thanks by the way

Hi Ali! :hello:

Do you have the factory navigation screen or the cubby? If you have the cubby you could install your gauge there.

Hi bro


I have the factory navigation

I try too much to open gauge with out cutting or hit some thing but can't

If you have the factory nav then you can plug into it via the video input & run a carPC or other data system and view it through the Nav screen. Will look similar to this but not exactly as I did not have nav but used the Nav dash piece to create it:

I love how that turned out.

Best yet!

Does anything need to be done ECM-wise for the "dead end" now present at the gauges?

not sure what you mean by dead end. the defi bf runs off its own controller..
so you have:
--the 3 (more ore less) gauges daisy chained to each other,
--1 defi BF controller
--the wiring and sensors that came with the gauges.

I did make some videos (hell they SUCK BAD w the commentary, but still good info and visuals of the progress)

heres a vid with a basic summary of some of the gauge work.. find my older vids and you should see a lot of the work and results.

hope that helps..

Apparently it’s a lot easier than people think.

1. Pop off shift boot holder (matte chrome part) and undo screws
2. Remove screws holding middle dash with screen/storage
3. Within where the storage was, there should be a screw, once removed you can pull each pod out

There are more screws deep inside the dash that you can't reach without removing the whole dash

hey my good sir the link doesnt work but that looks insane how are you getting the gauges out in the first pic

yeah, the gauges are basically 1 long bar that spans the length of the 3 gauge holes.. with circular protrusions ( the gauges) its 1 big plastic piece that needs to be cut into pieces and removed.

then you can dremel away enough space to tightly fit and epoxy the new gauges to the dash itself.

look for girald_s channel in youtube ive got some crappy videos on how i did the job...

the gauge wiring is enough to power the new gauges .. its fairly straight forward once you get the courage to destroy the oem :)

I'm also one of the people who decided to rip it out. I literally shredded it with some pliers
