Folks i just bought a dash for the EG8. It is the same thing as before
but i need to know who can install such a thing or does anyone have a
guide as to how to do this.

I see that it has a harness behind it so I kinda frighten to interfere and try to wire up that though. Maybe I could install it myself and let a electrician
do the harness part??

Any help is appreciated.

if its the original dash in then the only thing to do is screw out the bolts on the right side and left side where the dash faces the doos..under by the ac control there is another bolt attached to the aluminum bracket..clip out all the electrical parts..i think there are two more bolts but its better if u could take out your steering column ( from steering go straight to to the part with the ball joint..just have the right tools at hand and u on..

if you have ever taken anything apart & put it back together,it,s not difficult. all the harness,s plug into the various switches,it may seem intimediating ,keep all screws orgniased and try to work in a methodical manner.you don,t need to remove the steering collumn,just un-bolt it from under the dash and drop it down.things would be easier if you remove the front seats,to give yourself some room,get yourself a fan,because it can get a little warm,inside the car,take your time,you should be able to do it. good luck.

i doh want to f*ck eet up

the harness behind the gauges are cut and look like they have to be rewired....

Does anyone know where I can pay to get this done?

I want to install some bright led's too so i dont want it looking lame.

Devon, do a google search, there was a step by step with pics that I followed years ago when I did this myself.

All you have to do is unpug the harness from your original dash and plug them into your new one. REAL EASY. took me about 5 hours total.

muchas gracias senor

No probs. A stinki bandit destryed mine, and had to change it out.

Doh forget the bolt uner the vent on top. That one is easy to forget.

I dont have any of these tools though from the link....

socket set
wire cutters
wire crimper
soldering iron
hand drill and drill set
torx set
1/4" wide brass strip (purchased at local hobby shop

Devon.Lopez,Kes should be able to give a pull through and right in area. Look for him on forum and get a contact. If that fails let me know will put you on to some1 else

or they mumford that weird post......good

You don't need any of those things except the socket set. The money and headache you will waste getting someone to do it for you, you can more than afford a lil socket set.

All yuh need is a ratchet, extension and a 10 and 12mm socket.

Selling your old dash? just need some minor parts no matter if it in a not so good condition

D old dash still in the car.

I still ent get nobody to change the dash for me, by the way the centre vents are broken

hey,does anyone know if the old harness for the instrument panel would just plug and play in the new dash???

I would really like to know the answer to this ASAP

Devon.Lopez,

where you got the dash and how much you paid?

bought it in the foreign used place in St Augustine near UWI. Is not the one on the highway I talkin about but the one on the street near UWI by the corner after the hunps.

I paid $650.00 for it but that was after rell beat-down tactics.

The only other place I know of for sure that would have a Eg-9 is Pink Cadillac on the highway and that guy wanted around $1400 for it
