i still couldnt find out how to get the plastic off to get to the gauges....if anybody knows please help...
I tore my entire gauge cluster out to measure the sizes of each gauge. It was awhile back, and I'm not looking at my car this second, so forgive if I miss anything, but you should be able to figure it out.
First, undo the screw(s) on the upper dash, ie between the gauges and the windshield. Then, pop out the cruise button, the rear defrost/gauge brightness/whatever else, and any other things in between. Behind each is a screw. When you go to pull off the outer dash panel, it will need to be wiggled all over to slip past the windshield.
After that, I decided that it would be a hell of a lot easier to pull the cluster and put it together in the house, especially for anyone wanting to change the lights or unhook any of them. Finding the screws to the cluster shouldn't be too hard, just don't get them all mixed up, there's a lot before you're all done. When finallally pulling out, the speed cable can be tricky, but don't worry, it's twice as hard to get back on. If this isn't enough, let me know, I'll actually look at my car to remember.
To get my prints the right sizes, I just made a Word document. Anyone who wants that or just the sizes PM me or email
