Here we go, I've put 3 things on my dash



You can get to it 2 different ways.
1) Drop the steering wheel
2) Take off the plastic covers on the sterring column (correct description) I prefer the other way because I have had more space to work with

1)If you decide to take drop the steering wheel it's
a) Remove fuse cover
b) There are 2 screws that take the cover off of that you bang your knee against (don't know the exact name of it)
c) Then remove the metal bar that is there. There are 2 nuts and I believe it's 12 or 14mm
d) Then you have to locate the 2 nuts holding up the steering wheel, you'll need a deep socket and an extension
Then drop the sterring wheel

2)Taking off the plastic cover on the steering column
a) on the underside there are 6 screws, remove them and plastic pieces should unsnap from themselves.
Thats it

From here on it's the same
3) Locate the 2 screw on top of the gauge bezel cover, unscrew them and then pull off. Unplug the harnesses that are attached.
4) There are 3 screws holding in the gauge cluster unscrew them and then take out the harnesses behind it.
5) Take the whole thing into a well lit area and there are 8 little clips that you have to push in and up to get the glass/plastic off

Here are some written instructions with pictures

I am very bored at work so I decided to write
