You have to take the whole cluster apart. Where did you get the facelift? What all does it include? Pictures?

The instrument cluster is attached to the dashboard piece, so you have to pull all of the panels on the dash off to get to the screws that hold it in, and then you can maneuver it out of the hole.

and then i would assume you take the clips apart that hold the black and white parts together...

this is the best pic i have



but why would you want to replace the awesome fully red cluster?

^^ Yeah, definitely don't have to remove the dash to get the cluster out. Just take the cowling off the steering wheel to access the two screws that hold the cluster in, then pull it out far enough to unhook the cables.

Its not a cluster at all. Its just some silver crap that lays on top of your original cluster. $44.95 FTL.
