Changing the Gauge faces/bulbs

[Aojiru]

Hey, im just wondering, how do i change the lights that shines down onto my gauge panel? one of them is blown out and i want to replace it with white LED's. im a bit of a newb here, from what i've read, it seems a bit difficult to change these bulbs. if you guys can provide pictures on how to change these bulbs or any information at all, that'll be great. thanks for reading.

Take the trim around the whole dashboard off, then you will see 4 screws around the gauge cluster. take them out and then pop the plastic cover on the gauge cluster off and then just turn the bulbs and they should just come right out.

If you change your mind on having them white you can color them with a sharpie of whatever color to change it.

ah, thanks, but are there any easy instructions? or better yet, with pictures?

Take out the whole dash to get to the cluster:




You can see the bulbs above the blinker

How hard is it to disconnect/reconnect the gauges?

The gauge cluster has two green color'd connectors on the bottom front (left and right side) AND theres one on the top.

Theres something you NEVER want to do is DON'T EVER ATEMPT TO REMOVE YOUR NEEDLES AT ALL. If you do be ready to have an extra gauge cluster.

Will doing this un-calibrate the needle if i accidently turned the lil' motor?
because i do not have te money to buy a new cluster lol


edit: lol my bad i saw that the two lil screws were holding down the motor. oopsy

Are there lights behind the gauges or are the lights themselves "inside" the gauges...

[vietkid_2006]

taking apart the gauge and turning the miles to a certain mile won't hurt the cluster right?

IE: cluster swap and you want to know exact mileage and you roll it to the right mile of you car.

This was very helpful seeing I am waiting to change gauge faces. I also saw lil blue plastics over the leds ? Should i remove these if i just just bought new White and blue faces ? prolly No and that one question about while the motors our removed and not moving the needles? but other than that thnx, I have all the info now.
