Autometer tachometer with shift light install?

I was thinking about replacing my factory tachometer with the autometer tachometer with the shift light, the big tach. Does anyone have this tach installed on their car or if anyone would know if it would be a hard installation to do by myself? I would appreciate the info. Thanks

If you remove the stock tach, you'll also remove the warning lights for ACS/DSC, cruise control, seatbelt, ...

And I think it would look odd with an aftermarket tach...

Just my opinion.

As for the installation, it should not be too hard... Once you have found the right wires to connect to.

you will need to get a Tach adapter from autometer.

the car doenst have the right signal for it as is.

I run a shift light and use the factory tach. it does it job well.
