Re: gauge swap for em2?

They can fit but you'll have to do lots of modifications. If your asking if they can just bolt on, I don't think so..

Btw.. Welcome aboard and hope you enjoy your stay!

Not quite sure how long it can take you!! Lol

Off topic - My buddy swapped the whole DC5 dash into his EG and took him days to finish it lol. But, to do this! must have lots of knowledge specially when it comes to wiring

Re: gauge swap for em2?

He means rewiring the connectors via the wire diagram.

I believe that you have to trim a decent amount to get it to fit the hole in your dash then it ends up leaving a couple of holes around the edges.
