You have to take the clear plastic off. If ya don't, it won't look right.

You have to first remove the steering column cover (this is 3 or 4 screws underneath the steering column). There is an upper piece and a lower piece.

Next, you remove the two screws holding the gauge molding. This will slide out and you need to use a little finesse to get it past the steering wheel.

Then you remove the three retaining screws that hold the cluster on the mounts.

Take the cluster down and if you need more room, remove the connectors from the back (take caution in remembering where they go!) so you can freely handle the cluster.

Then carefully remove the plastic cover (by popping the tabs out of the sockets) and use the 3M adhesive backing to apply the gauge bezel to the cluster face.

NOTE: LINE UP THE BEZEL BEFORE TAKING OFF THE TAPE BACKING! You will need to SLOWLY place the CENTER of the bezel on FIRST, then work each side down and GENTLY press down to ensure that the adhesive will stick.

Then put it back together in reverse order.
