Yeah I kinda need that info too, my lights are soo dim and even with the knob turned to the max, its as a dull as a donkey's intelligence !!
I have that special tool to pull the cluster out, but....didnt know how to pull it out !!
Plus, I also have the chrome rings..which i want to install....so if anyone can write that part up too....would be great !!

you need to pull the cluster out and remove the guages from the cluster housing then insert the rings in through the back. Not that hard.

Sounds good !! Thanks
There's no way that the Glass separates from the entire housing does it? I also got this Carbon Fibre thing to go on to the instrument cluster.....so yeah !!

The glass ( plastic) can be separated from the cluster, but there is a strong chance that it will crack as you attempt to seperate it !

LOL .....thanx for the advance warning !! So...whats the best approach to it? Get it done by a profession and pay **** loads, or take a chance and if it breaks...buy a new plastic.....that is if its even sold !!! Plus...how much would it cost !! If it's too expensive, then I guess I shouldn't bother with it !! What a waste though !!
