Take out your guage cluster, and in the back you will have little twist out sockets, that's where you replace the bulbs in the sockets with the 194 LED of your choice.

Atleast I think that's what he meant...lol.

Good spelling and grammar is really a good idea if you're going to be asking questions online. Or anywhere for that matter, I'd look into it if I were him.

You dumb noob.

Check this thread out: http://forum.2gn.org/viewtopic.php?t=6982

That should help if this is actually what you're talking about.

Thanks for the info. But WHERE is this Gauge Cluster? That was my original question. Sorry about my carelessness.

the gauge cluster is where your speed, tach [if equipped ], gas gauge, milage gauge is located.

BINGO

Ok, I am dumb...and looking dumber by the day. But I'm learning so that's ok, right?

How do I take the gauge cluster out? Where do I need to focus in on? I know this sounds simple to most, but I need help.

Also, thanks for the link for changing the bulbs thread. I did not see anywhere in there however on how to remover the gauge cluster

You are very right.

You've come to the right place to learn, too, without getting flamed... Too much. We're usually pretty good here with noobs. On occasion, you'll get a couple smart-ass responses, but it's usually in all good-fun. No need to take it to heart.

You're very welcome!

As far as the how-to for the gauge cluster removal, I don't think there is one, yet - But it would help tremendously. I'm not even sure what's all involved in that because I haven't even taken mine out yet to swap bulbs. I like my gauge cluster.

Maybe someone else can help you out with that.

remove your A pillirs (the plastic pieces that go from the dash to the roof on either side of the windshield)

To romve the top of the dash there are 4 screws. Open your driver's side door and about 2" back from your little air vent will be a screw (phillps #2) remove it. Repeat on passanger side. Youn then have 2 PITA screws in the center(defrost) vent in the center of the dash near the windsheild. You will need a short screwdriver them. You can then take the dash out. Just over your streering wheel there is a trim peice that goes around your cluster its held in with clips pull that off.

Then there are 4 maybe 6 screws that hold the cluster in remove those screws and cluster will come out disconnect the plug in the back(gray). You can now change your bulbs. Then work backwards to put it all back togethere.

Take some pictures as you do it and then you can help contribute to making an official How-To for this.
