The above link has instructions for a Gen III SHO (I think). They are pretty good.

By the way, the gauges you purchased are not for the GenIV, but rather for the GenIII. ProCarParts and some of the other e-Bay sellers list them as GenIII and IV, but the MILs do not match up exactly between the two generations. It really isn't that big of a deal, just something to be aware of. Let us know how it goes, I'm getting impatient waiting for a true GenIV set and may get them myself

I think the lights even change between years on the Gen 4's. I think '99 guage faces are the same between 99 and 2000, but I think they may have changed after that. There was some discussion on this on the old board...

Yep, you're right. I had forgotten about that. I've heard the harness and everything is completely different between III and IV, do you think that would affect hooking up the gauges to power? I'm just asking, I have no idea how these things install.

they are just gauge faces. the go overtop the stock ones. All you need to do is slide the needle throught the cutouts and hold them in place with two-sided tape. As far as wiring, I put mine into the autolamp, so when the headlights came on, so did the new faces.
