If you buy the aftermarket kit it comes with everything you need to switch from idiot light to gauges. Gauges, circuit board, wires for under dash and forward harness, temp sender and instructions. The aftermarket gauges are pretty close to originals, only difference I saw was the tach face has rivets vs 3 screws. The other issue I had was with the temp gauge calibration. For me the gauge seemed to track an original if the resistor was not installed.
