Anybody removed their instrument cluster before?
I would like to do a few mods in the lighting department but have no idea of where to start to get to the cluster.

Thanks People!!!!!!!!

Sorry, don't know but do know that normally you break some stuff because the car is on the oldish side, be carefull very carefull.

cluster? the speedometer and rev counter?

did it a while ago. can't remember it all

theres the 5 theat are where ur knees are when driving. their in a line.
I had to disconnect the the 4 switches to bring the pannel out far enough. (fog, hazzard etc) I don't think I had to remove the cover over the steering shaft.
don't think there were any other screws but if it don't wanna come out. well...
now u just have to manouver the instrument pannel. its the only tricky bit.
I'm not shure if ull have a problem with ur steering wheel, I've got a very small one on...
think that's about it.

hint: don't take the needle/arms off the clock unless they marked or something. haha I did that once before...

Hey thanks for the help!!! Turns out it wasn't that hard at all.
Now that the cluster is removed i can replace the 5 or so light bulbs with coloured ones, and bobs my uncle. 😉
