First remove the 2 screws on the under side of the top of the trim piece and pull the trim piece off. (It is held in with 2 clips on the bottom corners)
Next remove the 4 screws that hold in the gauge cluster and tilt if forward to disconnect the wire harnesses.

Once the gauge cluster is removed, look at the back of it. The red arrows point to the bulb holders that light up the gauge faces and the needles. Turn the bulb holder 1/4 of a turn counter clock wise, and then pull it straight out. Remove the bulb, and insert the LED into the bulb holder. Repeat for all five bulbs and reinstall them back into the cluster.


The following steps are optional for the hyper white kit since the white LEDs will light up the needles fine. However, you may do the steps with the hyper white kit to have the needles light up a hyper white color.

Now, remove the plastic cover that protects the gauge faces and needles. Use the torx screw driver (T-15) to remove the screws holding the cover. There are two screws at the bottom on the front and four screws on the back of the unit. (The red squares in the pictures below indicate the screw locations.)


Use the cotton balls with rubbing alcohol to remove the orange from the face of the needles. If the orange does not completely rub off, carefully use a razor blade to gently scrape off the remaining paint. This is what the gauge cluster will look like with the orange paint removed from the needles.

Put the cluster back in the car. Be sure to pug in both wiring harnesses before you start the car. Here is a day and night picture of what your gauge cluster will look like.
