How do I remove auxiliary gauge pods?

Thinking about installing my water/meth gauge in the factory pod to the right of the steering column in the gage that now tells me I am turning a corner.
Can anyone describe the removal of the factory add on gauge pods?

Here is the factory John Cooper Works Sport Gauge Double Pod kit. I believe that is what you are talking about.



#1 Dual version

Here is the gauges by themselves for reference. Click on the items links to see additional pics

Indicator Cooling Water Temperature - Celsius

&

Indicator Relative Torque Gauge - %

&

Lateral G Force Gauge - G's

--------------

Here is the install guide.

You can go about half way down when the show the install of the gauges install the pods. You will have to find a meth/ water gauge that fits the pod housing.


Thanks

Thanks. Using the gauge that comes with the Aquamist kit. Appears to be near a perfect fit.

"The retrofit system is not coding-relevant."

yea, its plug and play. The coolant temp pod is very useful as there is none in the standard display.

You are welcome and glad it was helpful .
