Well in theory its easy. But fiddly as all hell.
Getting it out you need to pop the screw covers then unscrew The screws ontop of the cluster. Easy part over. To get it out ower the steering wheel. Remove the door scuff Plate then pull up the rubber door seals to halfway up the Windshield roughly. Prise out the semi-circular panel from the side of the dash (As seen from the doorway) then push out the twin air vents, which Should give just enough room to fit your hand (or tool if you got Big hands...) behind the cluster to push it out, which is a real Bastard to get moving. Be patient and not too forceful. Once thats out be careful not to rip it out too hard or you'll stuff The wiring. Unplug the cluster from the wiring connector. Now have a brew and congratulate yourself for removing your cluster. By the way, which LEDs have you got that fit and work? Trying to do the same with white LEDs but cant get my hands on Any that fit. |

As has been said in other threads, blue wont pass
Through orange or red. Your best option is to remove the dails and remove the paint By either carefully scraping or with nail polish remover. Just be careful you replace them in the correct position and not To firm in or they'll scrape and stick, or give wrong readings. |

If you need any help let me know

as long as the colour is only showing through because of the painted filter on bottom. pop one off gently with a blunt knie and have a look mate. its the only way to really tell. or get fron faceplate off and look at them through the side. if theyre red tint then you cant clean em.
