I did it in my Tib, and it's pretty easy.

Here's what you do:
- Eject the ashtray. You'll see screws that hold it in, so using a shorty screwdriver, remove them.
- Once you've unbolted the ashtray, disconnect the wires. Remove the ashtray.
- Optional
To keep the 12V power source from your cig lighter, you can just extend the wires from the connector to where ever you want. The green wire is positive and the black is negative. I re-routed my wires into my glove box and mounted a molex connector there to access the 12V power if I need it. - You'll see 2 plastic tabs that are part of the dash where the ashtray screwed into on either side. You'll need to use a Dremel or knife to cut these off.
- Wire up your multigauges.
- Mount them in the ashtray location. The gauges should be nice and snug and you shouldn't even need to bolt them in. I used two small L brackets to fasten them to the mission plate.
