lol. Yeah you have to take out the black plastic peice being held in by those two screws. once that is out, you pull out the guage assembly. You should see the clear plastic cover is held in by little plastic lips (clips). push those out and the clear plastic lense should come off easily. Once you get that off the rest is easy. Just pull off the black plastic guage bezel and replace it with your new one. Then reassemble.

TRY NOT TO TOUCH YOUR NEEDLES. and DO NOT PULL THEM OUT for any reason.

Good luck!

You HAVE to be doing something wrong...I did not have any problems doing mine, and I even disassembled the gauges themselves. Be more descriptive when you tell us what you have and have not removed.

cefiro8701: Email me today and I will get you the instructions for removing your guages and all that is around it Bro. I purchased the LED nedle kit a few years ago and had to take this apart to install. They sent me the instructions.

Just email me and I will figure out a way to get you the instructions.

This can be your weekend project!

I think you should have gone with the chrome guage rings but the bezel looks alright too I guess... Whatever floats ya boat!
