There are 4 I wanna say 7mm bolts holding the gauges on. You remove those and pull on it to pop it off ** be sure and pull the gear indicator out before yanking on it if you have an automatic**
After that there are the connectors for all the wires on the back. You have to pop those out and the whole thing will come out.*
Now to install the bulbs you have to twist and pull out the 5 black bulb holders and te one smaller one on top. The black ones hold a 194 bulb. I highly suggest one with a 360 degree radius or you WILL have dim spots. And the one white adapter holds a 37?? bulb. I'll check up on that.
Now this is the beginning of the PITA. Mark where each needle for your indicators are and then proceed to pull off the needles. I used a kitchen fork and popped it off of each holder connector. *be sure you have some help because since mine is a 99 the speedo jumps from 0-10 mph so in order to calibrate that I had to have a friend drive while I read my speed off my gps and placed he speedo needle. After that carefully peel off the film with all the readings and all on it. I did mine with a box blade and wound up messing up right above the trip indicator.*
After you remove it take 220 grit sand paper and sand off all the green spots where you are replacing with a different color. Be careful because I took a little of my cruise control indicator off and it's partly white. Once you sand all that down and off take super glue and glue it back down in spots where it will not block any indicators and adjust your needles to the right position. And your done. Took me in total about 3 hrs but I had to wait for all different bulbs to come in because I did go into it blind.*

I got them from
LED Lights, Bulbs & Accessories - SUPER BRIGHT LEDS
They have a vehicle configuration and will tell you the bulbs they need. And it's ok to put blue LEDs with the clear interior lens or white or whatever color you want.
