    Hey All

    I was wondering if anyone has purchased and installed white gauges. My question is regardng the removal oft the steering wheel, do you have to tar it off? Also is it possible for the air bag to deploy even with battery disconnected.

    Hopefully someone has done one of these any tips or tricks wouold be greatly appreciated.

    Its possible to accidentally deploy the air-bag while removing the steering wheel since the first step is to remove the air-bag.
    You need to disconnect the battery for a few minutes to completely disable the system.

    After that, you will need a 19mm socket and maybe a steering wheel puller.

    If I understand correctly, you want to change the color of you cluster gauge faces to white? If so you do not need to remove the steering wheel to do that. Just part of the dash...pretty easy.
