They should come with complete color instructions. You will need a letter 'R' drill bit and a 1/8" NPT tap for the pyro probe install. Everything else should be plug and play.

I recently installed the EV2's, and I am a complete idiot when it comes to automotive wiring. The hardest part for me was locating adequate switched power to run the gauges. (I wound up adding a piggyback fuse adapter to the panel). The instructions for the EV2's are straightforward, but you need to look very closely at the diagram and picture to ensure proper orientation of wiring up the plug.(I inadvertently got one of the plugs in reverse order). Once I stumbled through it, I was quite pleased with them. My problem was trying to rush the process. Take your time and you'll be fine.

You'll do fine. It's as easy as falling off a log.lol Just take your time, the EV2's are great gauges and IMO easier to install than the ev1's.

If you can't find an "R" drill bit use a 21/64" bit. Worked perfect for me.

I remember how worried I was when I installed my gauges. Everyone was very supportive and told me not to worry, just use the instructions. WEll, everyone was right and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. That being said, just take your time and look at the instructions/links provided and you should be fine.
