Does anyone know how to get at the bulbs that light up the gaudge cluster and the center console gaudges and the cigerate lighter and all of those kinds of lights? I want to take out the stock bulbs and put in blue ones does anyone know how to get at all of those lights and do you know what kind of bulb they are? I think there 194's but not sure. Thanks

To remove the panel, I think you just go underneath the steering wheel, you'll see a bunch of screws, unscrew them. That panel will come off. This allows you to get at the other panels, and they'll unlatch off (I believe), and from there, I'd imagine you could get at the gauge cluster. I've never attempted it, but I'm sure someone here has.

Like I have the digital speedo, and I'm sure there is a conversion to the regular speedo. I'm sure its the same process to getting that accomplished.

its all pretty simple really. i was able to strip my entire interior (complete dash and all) in a matter of hours. it probably only took me that long because i didn't really know what i was doin at first and also the dash was pretty damn hard to squeeze out of the car.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
