Default *****noob question, sorry!****

Alright, so I bought an autometer sport comp II today, I have been meaning to install one for the last couple months, and I ended up w some free time...

I have the power and ground ran, I have the T in place and the vac line running into the "cockpit" and all I need to do now is figure out how to get the light inside!!!!

The only thing the instructions don't cover is the whole opening the damn thing to get the light in....I have a couple ideas, but I'd rather not break it...I have searched our site (and it seems that I am the only person who has had a problem w this)...

any links or pictures would be greatly appreciated!

the bulb "housing"/plug should be sticking out of the back of the gauge. Usually you just squeeze the sides of it and pull it out.

I live in the middle of nowhereland!, this is what was readily available at Franklin Auto Parts...believe it or not the bulb in the picture came in the same box....this is just a regular autometer guage....if there's already a light inside, why did it come with a bulb, and the "condoms" to change the color of the light INSIDE?....

You might have to twist the face off the gauge when you want to change it. I bought the wrong guage and ended up with an indiglow face that cant be changed. [&o]
