General Installation Notes:
Please read instructions completely before beginning installation. If you 
have any questions please call.
Before starting installation, scotch vehicle tires to avoid accidental 
movement of the vehicle. Disconnect negative battery cable before 
beginning installation.
Make sure the engine, transmission, body and frame are properly 
grounded. We recommend applying anti-seize lubricant to all aluminum 
threads before final assembly.
Refer to Fig. 1 for the component names.
The Lokar LED Dash Indicator allows fitment to a dash that is up to 1/8" thick. 
Some fiberglass dashes may require modification on the inside surface in order 
for the indicator bezel to fit.
Available for either horizontal or vertical installations.
Step 1: Determine where you want the LED Dash Indicator to be installed.
If possible, make this decision while sitting in the driver's seat, with 
the seat at its normal position. Make sure the steering wheel, gauges, 
shifter lever, and other items will not interfere with your view of the 
LED Dash Indicator.
Step 2: Measure the drilling template in Fig. 2 to make sure it matches the
dimensions listed on the template. Cut out the drilling template.
Step 3: Place the template at your desired location on the dash. Use a center
punch to mark your dash panel with the two drill locations. Drill both 
holes using a 1/8" drill bit. Then drill the holes out to the maximum 
of 5/8" diameter in small steps.
Step 4: Cut out the remaining material between the drilled holes. Do not make
the opening too large!
Step 5: Remove the #6-32 x 1/4" bolts, internal star washers, flat washers,
and the dash brackets from the bezel using a 1/4" socket or wrench. 
Fig. 3 Test fit the bezel into the dash. Check the dash thickness for 
proper fit, and make any necessary modifications to the dash.
Step 6: Insert the bezel into the dash from
the front, feeding the cable through 
the opening first. The purple wire 
represents 
PARK; make sure the
purple wire is placed at the top 
(vertical installation) or on the left 
(horizontal installation) for proper 
shift pattern direction. Push the 
aluminum bezel into place and 
reinstall the dash brackets using the 
#6-32 x 1/4" bolts with the internal 
star washers and flat washers.
NOTE: You MUST install the flat washers and
the internal star washers.
DO NOT
substitute a longer bolt. The LED 
Dash Indicator could become 
damaged if either washer is left out 
or a longer bolt is installed! 
 The internal star washer goes against 
the head of the bolt, and the flat 
washer goes against the dash bracket. 
Apply pressure against the bezel from 
the outside of the dash, and push the 
dash brackets tight against the inside 
of the dash while tightening the bolts 
to assure a snug installation.
Step 7: Use the appropriate transmission
wiring diagram to connect the 
indicator wiring harness to the 
decoder box, control module or 
sensor. 
Fig. 4, Fig. 5, or Fig. 6 Make
sure the wires are not routed next to 
any sharp edges.
 The indicator will light up the gear 
that is selected, and all other gear 
positions will be dark. 
Fig. 7 If using
a Lokar cable operated sensor, the 
decoder box must be programmed 
before the indicator will work 
correctly. The current shifter lever 
position is displayed only after the 
wiring is connected, the decoder box 
is programmed, and the ignition key 
is turned on. See the instructions 
that came with the cable operated 
sensor kit.
