Got New Gauge face kit/ No Instruction-HELP

I got my new silver faced gauge kit for my 01 Ranger. They came from ebay. They are new but they have no instructions. I have been to the HOW to PROJECT but it does not say how the guage faces are attatched to the factory gauges. HELP!!!!:puzzled:
This is the link to see the gauge faces.

the guage faces i believe have an adhesive on the back of them. After pulling the old ones off, put the new ones on. Not hard. Hardest part for me was getting to the guages. LOL!

I don't think these faces have any adhesive on them, at least I don't see any. I did not know that you could pull the old faces off, I thought they were something that you just put these new covers over?

Peel and stick. The hardest part is getting to the gauges!!! Atleast full-size is a pain!
Peel original off and put new ones on. Make sure to mark needles when truck is cold and
running. After gauge panel is in place, start truck and put needles back on.

These gauges were advertised that needles do not need to be removed for installing new gauge faces. I still plan on taking digital photos before I start. I will take a photo with key off and one with key on. Thanks for the suggestion of doing it when the truck is cold. That way the needles won't move. I guess the tach and speedo needles will just rest on the rest pins.

If you don't have to take needles off, you're home
free!! Full-size the needles have to come off. If there
isn't glue on the new ones they lay over the old.

seems there are small locating pins on my dash and these new gauge faces have the corresoponging holes for the pins to fit in. So its just a matter of sliding them on the pins and putting back together. With the help of the How To project on this web site the job should be a snap. I may try to do this tomorrow.
