New Gauges, where to get installation?

Hey guys, I got new Gauges off of ebay, but I don't even want to try and change them myself, because I know I'll mess something up. I called a place in Whitby, but they are charging me $150+tx to install. Damn Labour! Can anyone help me out and tell me where I can go to get it done. I don't want any mess ups, professionally done

I've just heard of people messing with the gauges, and messing up the needles. Plus I didn't get instructions with it. So I have no idea what to do. It looks pretty straight forward, pluggin in the wires, but there's a transformer, and I'll probably get stuck doig something wrong

If you haven't done it before, get someone who has. I have tried it, the Tach and the Speed are no problem. The heat and gas guage needles are the hardest to put on, and yes they are easy to snap.

Give Auto Accessory Zone a call 905-668-9898, they are in Whitby, they may be reasonable
